How to convert ounces of vegetable oil to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 5 oz = 142 g. One US cup of vegetable oil weighs 218 g, so 142 ÷ 218 = 0.65 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 5 ounces of vegetable oil?

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.
