500 grams of vegetable oil equals 1.15 pt. Vegetable oil has a density of 218g per cup. Because grams measure weight and pints measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.

Formula and Step-by-Step
grams ÷ 218g/cup × 0.5 = pints
Start with 500 grams of vegetable oil
1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
500g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.29 cups × 0.5 = 1.15 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.
Vegetable Oil at Different Amounts
How vegetable oil scales across common grams measurements. Your amount (500 grams) is highlighted.
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.
About 1.15 pt, based on vegetable oil having a density of 218g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 218 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 0.5 to get pints. For 500 grams: 500 ÷ 218 = 2.29 cups × 0.5 = 1.15 pt.
For the most accurate results, weigh vegetable oil on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of vegetable oil changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 1.15 pt ÷ 0.5 = 2.29358 cups, then 2.29358 × 218g/cup = 500g. Or use the Pints to Grams converter.
