Hi noresistance

You do not say whether you want English or American Gallons,
so take a look at this link which has a conversion calculator.:-

RE: How to convert from cubic feet or pounds to gallons???

Since it appears that this synthetic oil has the density of water at 15 deg C, use the conversions for water at this temperature. For other temperatures ask the makers.

RE: How to convert from cubic feet or pounds to gallons???

one cubic foot = 7.48052 US gallons
one cubic foot = 28.3168 Liters
one pound of water = .12004 US gallons

RE: How to convert from cubic feet or pounds to gallons???

To IFRs, with such a high degree of exactitude (five significant digits) one needs to add at what T/P is the water density taken, say 60oF/1 atm. abs.
Do you agree ?

RE: How to convert from cubic feet or pounds to gallons???

Agreed.  But only the one with water in it, which should be at STP.  Cubic feet to gallons and liters is independant of temperature, pressure, gravity, etc.
