How Much Is 5.4 Ounces of Coconut Oil in Fluid Ounces?
5.4 ounces of coconut oil equals 5.62 fl oz. Coconut oil has a density of 218g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.4 ounces of coconut oil
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.4 × 28.35 = 153.09g
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 153.09g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.70 cups × 8 = 5.62 fluid ounces
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Fluid Ounce?
There are 8 fluid ounces in a US cup and 128 fluid ounces in a US gallon. The UK fluid ounce is slightly smaller (28.413 ml vs 29.574 ml), so UK and US recipes using fluid ounces will differ slightly.
