How to convert ounces of vegetable oil to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 1 oz = 28 g. One US cup of vegetable oil weighs 218 g, so 28 ÷ 218 = 0.13 cups.
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1 ounce of vegetable oil?
1 ounce of vegetable oil is about 2 tablespoons (0.13 cups), based on 218 g per level US cup.

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 1 ounce of vegetable oil is 0.12 cups.
Should I weigh vegetable oil or measure it by volume?
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
