Where 218 g comes from

USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of “Oil, vegetable, soybean, refined” = 218 g. FDC 172370

King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Vegetable oil”): 198 g per cup. Chart

This page uses 218 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 20 g (9.17%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.

Oil is lighter than water, so a cup weighs less than 236 g: USDA puts soybean (vegetable) oil at 218 g. King Arthur rounds it to 198 g. Canola and sunflower oil weigh the same as vegetable oil.

How to measure vegetable oil by the cup

Use a liquid measuring jug on a flat surface and read the line at eye level, or weigh it: for liquids a scale is just as quick.
