Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 218g/cup × 8 = fluid ounces
  1. Start with 16.23 ounces of vegetable oil
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 16.23 × 28.35 = 460.11g
  3. 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
  4. 460.11g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.11 cups × 8 = 16.88 fluid ounces

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.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Fluid Ounce?

A US fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume equal to 29.574 milliliters or 1/8 of a cup. It measures liquid volume and should not be confused with the ounce (oz), which measures weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 16.88 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 16.23 ounces: 16.23 × 28.3495 = 460.11g, then 460.11 ÷ 218 = 2.11 cups × 8 = 16.88 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: 16.88 fl oz ÷ 8 = 2.11061 cups, then 2.11061 × 218g/cup = 460.11g, then 460.11g ÷ 28.3495 = 16.23 ounces. Or use the Fluid Ounces to Ounces converter.
