an infusion is technically an extract.
you can dilute an extract if you want. Essential oil extracts are the most concentrated, and those need to be diluted. Essential oil extracts have to be brought like that.
There are different types of infusions and extracts, and sometimes the meanings overlap.
alcohol infusion - herb soaked in drinking alcohol
vegetable oil infusion - what this thread is about
tea infusion - tea
essential oil extract - is mostly pure extract with negligible infusion medium.
water itself can be used as an extract medium, but usually its extracted better as a tea or with drinking alcohol
