How Much Is 50 Milliliters of Vegetable Oil in Ounces?
50 milliliters of vegetable oil weighs 1.63 oz. This is based on vegetable 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 50 milliliters.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 50 milliliters of vegetable oil
- 1 milliliter of vegetable oil = 0.92g
- 50 × 0.92 = 46.07g
- Convert grams to ounces: 46.07 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.63 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?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
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.
