How Much Is 1.5 Quarts of Olive Oil in Ounces?
1.5 quarts of olive oil weighs 45.72 oz. This is based on olive oil having a density of 216g per cup. Because quarts measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.5 quarts.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 quarts of olive oil
- 1 quart of olive oil = 864g
- 1.5 × 864 = 1,296g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,296 ÷ 28.3495 = 45.72 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 Quart?
The quart gets its name from "quarter" (of a gallon). One US quart is about 5.7% smaller than 1 liter (946 ml vs 1,000 ml). Always use the exact unit your recipe specifies.
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.
