Transmission oils in Canada: prices and fluid specs

Updated 4 November 2026

Transmission fluid in Canada costs roughly CA$10 to CA$35 for a litre or quart of basic fluid, and about CA$47 to CA$69 for a one-gallon jug of multi-vehicle fluid. Premium OEM-spec fluids cost more, from about CA$112 to CA$246. For the fluid your gearbox needs, send a request on BlaBlaPrice with your car model and the quantity.

Warranty and the right fluid specification

Some warranty terms depend on using approved fluids and filters, and some extended transmission warranties require a specific synthetic lubricant named for the model. A newer multi-vehicle fluid is intended mainly for cars still under warranty and is not always compatible with older gearboxes. Check the specification in your owner's manual before you buy.

Winter and when to service

Canadian winter runs from December to February, and cars in Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal often start in very cold weather. November falls before the cold months, so it is a practical time to check or change the fluid. Ask the seller to confirm that the fluid matches your car's specification.

Delivery, sizes and how fluid is sold here

Fluid can be delivered between Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa, so give your city and quantity in the request. Sizes are sold in litres or US gallons, and one US gallon is about 3.8 litres, so check the litres on the label. Warranty terms are written in kilometres, such as 20,000 km or 150,000 km, so compare them in km.

What to write in your request

Name the transmission type, the car model and year, the viscosity and specification from the manual, and the quantity in litres. Add your delivery city and a budget in CA$. Sellers then reply with the price, the exact fluid and the delivery terms.

Write the car, the fluid specification and the litres you need in the BlaBlaPrice chat, and add a photo of the label if you have one. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, then shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply with their offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. For engine oil see Engine oils, or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
