1000 g of olive oil in cups
1000 g ≈ 4.63 cups
That is also 74.1 tablespoons, at 216 g per US cup.
How to measure it
4½ cups + 2 tablespoons
4.63 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 4.63 cup in the drawer. The line above is the same quantity in the sizes you actually own, and following it lands within a teaspoon of 1000 g.
Spoon the olive oil into the cup and level it off. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down; on flour that alone is worth about 20%, which is more than the difference this page is measuring.

Why this number moves
Essentially the same density as other cooking oils; the difference is flavour, not weight.
This page uses 216 g per US cup. If your recipe came with its own figure, use theirs — internal consistency matters more than which table is right.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1000 g of olive oil?
4.63 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is 4½ cups + 2 tablespoons. One US cup of olive oil weighs about 216 g.
How do I measure 1000 g of olive oil without scales?
4½ cups + 2 tablespoons. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts olive oil and can add a fifth to the weight.
Is this the same in the UK?
The gram figure is, the cup is not. A US cup is 236.6 ml and the metric cup used in Australia and much of Europe is 250 ml, so a European cup of olive oil weighs about 228 g. These pages use the US cup.
