Is DMSO a universal solvent?

The molecular formula is (CH3) 2SO, because the structure has a hydrophilic thionyl group and two hydrophobic methyl groups, it can be miscible with aqueous solution and most organic solvents except petroleum ether; It can dissolve about 80% of the compounds, and most of the water-soluble compounds and fat-soluble compounds can be dissolved by it, so DMSO is also known as "universal solvent".
