I tried lasers and olive oil a few years ago and got the same result as Starlight with the 532 turning yellow in light olive oil (1st pic) , and in the 2nd pic the blue and red beams entered the bottle on the bottom and the beams are pointed upward. For the last three pics I poured olive oil into a clear glass to check it out. The 532 beam really lit up the oil inside the glass and did not turn yellow, either because of the color of the glass (clear) or the fact the photos are badly overexposed inside the glass. I also noticed that the oil refracted the beams out of the glass much different than water. I also got into trouble with the wife on these as I made a total mess trying to pour the olive oil back into the bottle which had a plastic piece on the top to control the flow or olive oil when pouring out. I have not tried olive oil since then.
