Vegetable Oil: mL to Grams (g) Converter
Vegetable Oil is lighter than water, so 1 mL does not simply equal 1 gram. This converter uses the real density of vegetable oil (about 0.914 g per mL) to turn any volume you enter into an accurate weight - and lets you switch to any of our other 85 ingredients without leaving the page.

Vegetable Oil: mL to Grams and Grams to mL
If a recipe lists vegetable oil in mL and your scale reads grams, the short answer is that 100 mL of vegetable oil weighs about 91.4 g. Vegetable oil is lighter than water, so the two numbers are never the same.
The Formula
mL to grams: Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × 0.914
Grams to mL: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ 0.914
Worked Examples
- 15 mL of vegetable oil = 13.7 g
- 250 mL of vegetable oil = 228.5 g
- 200 g of vegetable oil = 218.8 mL
Common Kitchen Measures
- 1 teaspoon (4.93 mL) = 4.5 g
- 1 tablespoon (14.79 mL) = 13.5 g
- 1/4 cup (59.1 mL) = 54.1 g
- 1/2 cup (118.3 mL) = 108.1 g
- 1 cup (236.6 mL) = 216.2 g
Why Vegetable Oil Weighs What It Does
Oils are lighter than water, which is why they float on top of it. Vegetable oil sits near 0.91 g per mL, so 100 mL weighs a little under 92 g.
Measuring Tips
Oil clings to the measuring cup. Weigh it into a bowl on a scale, or let the cup drain for a few seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 100 mL of vegetable oil?
About 91.4 g, using a density of 0.914 g per mL.
How many mL is 100 g of vegetable oil?
About 109.4 mL.
Does hot frying oil weigh the same?
Hot oil is slightly less dense, because liquids expand as they heat. For recipes the change is negligible, so use the room temperature value.
