How Much Is 162 Grams of Olive Oil in Pints?
162 grams of olive oil equals 0.38 pt. Olive oil has a density of 216g per cup. Because grams measure weight and pints measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 162 grams of olive oil
- 1 cup of olive oil = 216g
- 162g ÷ 216g/cup = 0.75 cups × 0.5 = 0.38 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Pint?
A US pint equals 473.176 ml, 2 cups, or 16 fluid ounces. It is used for liquids, ice cream, and other volume measurements in American cooking.
