Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 218g/cup × 8 = fluid ounces
  1. Start with 11.53 ounces of vegetable oil
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 11.53 × 28.35 = 326.87g
  3. 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
  4. 326.87g ÷ 218g/cup = 1.50 cups × 8 = 12.00 fluid ounces

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 12.00 fl oz, 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.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 218 (grams per cup), then multiply by 8 to get fluid ounces. For 11.53 ounces: 11.53 × 28.3495 = 326.87g, then 326.87 ÷ 218 = 1.50 cups × 8 = 12.00 fl oz.
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: 12.00 fl oz ÷ 8 = 1.4994 cups, then 1.4994 × 218g/cup = 326.87g, then 326.87g ÷ 28.3495 = 11.53 ounces. Or use the Fluid Ounces to Ounces converter.
