    How many liters are in 1 kilogram of motor oil?

    Answer

    1 kilogram of motor oil takes
    1.18 L

    The density of motor oil is 0.85 kg/L (at 15 °C; 5W-30 is 0.830–0.855, 5W-40 is 0.850–0.862).

    How the volume of 1 kilogram of motor oil was worked out

    volume = mass ÷ density

    1 kg ÷ 0.85 kg/L

    ≈

    1.18 L

    The density comes from Mobil Delvac 5W-30 TDS (0.8516 at 15 °C) · SINTEC by SAE grade. At 15 °C; 5W-30 is 0.830–0.855, 5W-40 is 0.850–0.862.

    The other way round: what a liter of this weighs

    This page starts from a mass and answers in liters. The opposite question — how much a given volume weighs — is what the liters to kilograms calculator is for. Both read the same density table, so the two pages agree wherever the answer is volume times density.

    For motor oil the density is 0.85 kg/L, so 1 kilogram takes 1.18 liters — and one liter of it weighs 0.85 kg.

    About "Kilograms to Liters" Calculator

    This calculator converts kilograms to liters through the density of the substance: volume equals mass divided by density. The heavier the substance, the less room the same kilogram takes — one kilogram of honey is 0.7 liters, while one kilogram of liquefied gas is almost two. For example, it can help you find out how many liters are in 1 kilogram of motor oil? (The answer is: 1.18). For bulk materials the answer is a range, and it is inverted against the weight page: the denser the packing, the smaller the volume of the same mass.

    FAQ

    How many liters are in 1 kilogram of motor oil?

    1 kilogram of motor oil takes 1.18 L

    How do you work out the volume of 1 kilogram of motor oil?

    Volume equals mass divided by density. The density of motor oil is 0.85 kg/L and the mass is 1 kilogram, which gives 1.18 liters — the figure on this page is rounded, so dividing the two printed numbers can differ in the last digit.

    How accurate is the density of motor oil?

    The figure comes from Mobil Delvac 5W-30 TDS (0.8516 at 15 °C) · SINTEC by SAE grade. At 15 °C; 5W-30 is 0.830–0.855, 5W-40 is 0.850–0.862.

    And how much does 1 kilogram of motor oil weigh per liter?

    That is the opposite question, and it has its own page: one liter of motor oil weighs 0.85 kg. This page starts from the mass and answers in liters; that one starts from the volume and answers in kilograms.
