Convert Cups to Grams: Canola Oil
Convert cups of canola oil to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of canola oil = 218g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because canola oil density can vary by measuring technique.

| 2/3 cup | 145.3g |
| 3/4 cup | 163.5g |
| 1 cup | 218g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 272.5g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 327g |
| 2 cups | 436g |
| 3 cups | 654g |
| 4 cups | 872g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Canola oil has very similar density to vegetable oil. 1 cup = 218g. Neutral flavor makes it versatile for baking. One of the most common oils in American cooking.
About Canola Oil Density
The density of canola oil determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.908g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of canola oil weighs 218g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of canola oil?
1 cup of canola oil weighs 218 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
How many grams is 1/2 cup of canola oil?
