1 cup of oil weighs:
218g
US cup (240 ml)
227g
Metric / AU cup (250 ml)
American recipes mean the 240 ml cup; Australian, British and New Zealand recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. If the recipe does not say, the cuisine usually tells you — see the full cups to grams guide.
A cup of vegetable or olive oil is about 218 g — lighter than water, which is exactly why oil floats. Oil is easy to measure accurately by volume since it pours cleanly and does not compact.
