Transmission oils in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

In the United Arab Emirates, a bottle of automatic transmission fluid usually costs between AED 40 and AED 175, dual-clutch fluid between AED 90 and AED 320, and gear oil up to AED 570. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites in November 2026. The quickest way to get the current price for your car is to send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Why the summer heat matters

Summer runs from May to September and is very hot, so the gearbox works at high temperature for long periods, especially in traffic. Local guidance for the UAE recommends a full-synthetic transmission fluid, because it keeps its protection better at high heat. Mild winters from November to March are an easier time for a service, but the fluid choice matters all year.

Check the specification before you buy

Fluids sold in the UAE are mostly labelled Dexron, Mercon, ATF Type T-IV or CVT fluid, and Dexron VI is also common. Find the specification in your owner's manual or on the old bottle, because the specification matters more than the brand name. Check the litre size in each listing too, since 1-litre and 4-litre packs differ a lot in price.

How it is priced and delivered

Prices are listed in AED per pack, and delivery depends on the seller. Ask whether delivery reaches your city: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain. Quantities are given in litres, so state the amount you need in litres. Ask for the fluid by its specification as well as its brand, so the bottle matches your gearbox.

What to write in your request

Give the car make, model and year, the gearbox type (automatic, dual-clutch or manual), the specification from the manual, the quantity in litres, your city and your budget in AED. Sellers can then quote the right fluid with its delivery, and you can compare the offers side by side.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the car and the gearbox in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo of the old bottle or its label. The AI asks for any missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, and shows the prices it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. The service is free for buyers.
