Good question but I can tell you that the weight of the oil has no bearing on the weight of the gallon. Look for a conversion chart and see what a gallon weighs of any liquid.

Therefore one gallon weighs 7.5 lbs. I believe 30-weight oil is 6.8 lbs/gal. One gallon of feathers does not weight the same as one gallon of water.......

In order to convert from volume to weight, we must know the density. 15w40 has a density of about .879 kilograms per liter. One gallon is about 3.785 liters. Multiplying these two numbers gets us our weight, at approximately 3.327 kilograms.
The average weight of one gallon of #2 fuel oil is 7.2 pounds. Water weighs 8.34#/gal.
