48 fl oz is 6 cups, which is 1 1/2 quarts or 3 pints, about 1.42 liters. Many bottles of vegetable oil hold 48 fl oz, so a full bottle is 6 cups.
A large casserole or a batch of soup often lands around 6 cups. A 4 cup liquid measure plus 2 more cups is the fastest way to get there.
Be careful with large tubs sold as 48 oz, such as ice cream or yogurt. If the label shows "fl oz," that is volume and the tub holds 6 cups. If it shows plain "oz" with grams, it is weight, and the cup count depends on the food. See dry vs. liquid ounces.
