Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10.4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil = 13.63g
- 10.4 × 13.63 = 141.7g
- Convert grams to ounces: 141.7 ÷ 28.3495 = 5.00 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 spoon for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
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.
