Is it only water specifically?
Couldnt it also apply to oil because it's fluid based?

Exactly what a bender can bend has been talked to death through out the years but I don't think a water bender can bend oil. An earth bender can bend lava, a fluid. A water bender can bend ice, a solid.

I feel like this is a very philosophical question. Like Toph bended metal, but metal is but one component of earth. Water and oil don’t mix unless under certain circumstances and oil isn’t recognized as being a part of water.

Toph can only bend metal due to the impurities in it; highly purified titanium can't be metalbent
