Hydraulic oils in the UAE

Updated 31 October 2026

Hydraulic oil in the UAE costs roughly AED 55 to AED 120 for a 1 to 5 litre container, AED 300 to AED 500 for a 20 litre drum, and AED 550 to AED 1,000 for a 5-gallon pail of about 19 litres. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, October 2026. The quickest way to current offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Viscosity grades and standards

Hydraulic oil grades are usually set by the ISO or SAE system, so the grade on the label, such as ISO 32, 46 or 68, must match your machine's manual. Some listings mention fire-resistant fluids approved for pressures up to 350 bar, which matters for certain industrial hydraulic systems. Ask for the technical data sheet before you buy, because it lists the grade, the approvals and the safety data.

Heat and season

The very hot summer from May to September raises the temperature of a hydraulic system, and the grade you choose should suit the operating temperature in your equipment. October is the start of the cooler period, and the mild months from November to March suit outdoor servicing and oil changes.

Litres, gallons and comparing prices

Listings mix litres and US gallons, so convert before comparing: a 5-gallon pail is about 19 litres, and a 20-litre drum at AED 310 works out to about AED 15.50 per litre. Check whether the price includes delivery to your city, such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, because a low price per litre can still come with a delivery fee.

What to write in your request

Give the equipment make and model, the viscosity grade or the standard in the manual, the quantity in litres, whether you need a fire-resistant or biodegradable fluid, the delivery city and your budget in AED. Say whether you need a single pack or a regular supply.
