1000 g of vegetable oil in cups
1000 g ≈ 4.59 cups
That is also 73.4 tablespoons, at 218 g per US cup.
How to measure it
4½ cups + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon
4.59 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 4.59 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 vegetable 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
Lighter than water — oil floats for exactly this reason.
This page uses 218 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 vegetable oil?
4.59 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is 4½ cups + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon. One US cup of vegetable oil weighs about 218 g.
How do I measure 1000 g of vegetable oil without scales?
4½ cups + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts vegetable 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 vegetable oil weighs about 230 g. These pages use the US cup.
