1.04 cups of coconut oil equals 8.00 oz. Coconut oil has a density of 218g per cup (218g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.04 cups of all-purpose flour would be 4.59 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.04 cups of coconut oil
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 1.04 × 218 = 226.72g
- Convert grams to ounces: 226.72 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.00 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring cup for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
