How Much Is 500 Milliliters of Coconut Oil in Ounces?
500 milliliters of coconut oil weighs 16.25 oz. This is based on coconut oil having a density of 218g per cup. Because milliliters measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 500 milliliters.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 500 milliliters of coconut oil
- 1 milliliter of coconut oil = 0.92g
- 500 × 0.92 = 460.72g
- Convert grams to ounces: 460.72 ÷ 28.3495 = 16.25 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 Milliliter?
A milliliter (ml) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1/1000 of a liter. It is the standard volume measurement for cooking in most countries outside the US. One cup equals approximately 236.588 milliliters.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
