How Much Is 2 Ounces of Vegetable Oil in Milliliters?
2 ounces of vegetable oil equals 61.53 ml. That's 56.70g, and Vegetable oil has a density of 218g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and milliliters measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 ounces of vegetable oil
- Convert ounces to grams: 2 × 28.35 = 56.70g
- 1 cup of vegetable oil = 218g
- 56.70g ÷ 218g/cup = 0.26 cups × 236.588 = 61.53 milliliters
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 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.
