How Much Is 1.04 Cups of Vegetable Oil in Ounces?
1.04 cups of vegetable oil weighs 8.00 oz. This is based on vegetable oil having a density of 218g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.04 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.04 cups of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of vegetable 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.
Vegetable Oil at Different Amounts

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
