Motor oil heats faster than water, as water has one of the highest specific heat capacities. (It takes more energy to increase the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 °C than to increase the temperature of 1 kg of oil by 1°C)

At one atmoshere pressure, water boils at 212 degrees fahrenheit, or 100 degrees celsius, theoretically you could heat a soil sample higher than that. It depends on the heat source. If you are speaking of temperatures found in nature, lava or magma is hotter than water, but can contain water vapor at extreme temperatures and pressures underground.
