How much does an American gallon of hydraulic oil weigh?



Answer:
It all depends on the density of oil, so 1gal=3.78 lit, volume=Mass/density. so for water the mass and density are equal to 1, so 1 liter of water exactly weights 1 kg. So you have to find out the 2 things of the equation to answer your question.So if you don't know the density of the oil, you can weigh exact amount of water against the oil and finds the oils density, so if 1 liter of oil is equal to 2 liters of water, the density of oil would be 2 kg/cm3.
My dad has one liter, and its 2.4 lbs.

Heres what it tranlates to

9.08498832
So aprox 9 lbs
1 US gallon of water = 8.3 lb
The S.G. of hydraulic oil is around 0.880
8.3 x 0.880 = 7.3 lb.
