Olive oil is poured, so its cup behaves like any other liquid cup. The weight is nearly the same as other cooking oils, but olive oil is chosen for flavour, and a recipe that names it usually wants that taste. Extra virgin and light olive oils are both oils, but they are used differently: the first for dressings and finishing, the second for frying. Neither changes how much a cup weighs, only how the dish tastes.

What a cup of olive oil weighs, and why it can differ
USDA’s weight for “1 cup” is 216 g. Next to a cup of water, which holds about 236.6 g, that is 91% of the weight of a cup of water, so it weighs about the same as the same volume of water. The same cup works out at 0.91 g per millilitre.
USDA lists one cup measure for olive oil (“1 cup”), so this page has no second figure to compare it with; if a recipe depends on the exact amount, weigh it.
