Transmission oils in India: prices, specifications and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

A one-litre pack of gear oil or automatic and CVT fluid costs roughly ₹301 to ₹1,663, depending on grade and brand. These are approximate figures from sellers' websites, November 2026. For current prices for your vehicle and city, send one request on BlaBlaPrice.

Specification and warranty

Check the service designation on the label, such as GL-4 or GL-5, and the SAE viscosity grade in your manual. Official lubricant standards also include ASTM D5760, which covers manual transmission gear lubricants. Guidance from one oil company says that following the specification often keeps the vehicle's warranty, so keep the label and the receipt.

Heat and change intervals

Temperatures stay high across most of India, so the season does not change the oil grade the way it does in cold countries. The real question is how often to change it. One snippet gives 60,000 km for a transmission oil change, and another puts automatic transmission fluid at 30,000 to 60,000 miles, which is about 48,000 to 96,000 km. Ask your mechanic whether your driving, with heavy loads or heavy city traffic, calls for a shorter interval.

Delivery and how it is sold

Transmission oil comes in one-litre packs and in 2.5 and 5 litre containers, and some imports are sold in US gallons, so convert before you compare. Ask whether the seller delivers to Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai, and who pays for delivery. Prices are listed in rupees, and the listings do not say whether GST is included, so confirm it before ordering.

What to write in your request

Give the car or truck model and the unit type, such as manual gearbox, automatic or CVT. Add the viscosity and specification from the manual, the base oil if you know it, and the quantity in litres. Name a brand only if you have one in mind, and give your delivery city and budget.
