Engine oils in Singapore: prices, warranty and choosing the right grade

Updated 4 November 2026

A 5-litre pack of engine oil in Singapore costs about S$41 to S$65 for conventional or full synthetic oil, and a premium European-spec synthetic costs about S$147, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. The grade your car needs is written in its handbook, so start there. For current offers on the exact oil, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Prices vary most with the base oil and the approval the oil carries, not with the brand name alone. Ask for the oil by its viscosity grade and the specification your manual names, and compare the price per litre rather than the price per bottle.

Warranty and approvals

Using the wrong engine oil could void the warranty on your car, according to one local guide, and it can shorten the life of engine parts. A routine change with the correct oil should not affect the warranty. The antitrust regulator has also told authorised car dealers to remove warranty restrictions, and another local guide says you can legally service a car anywhere during the warranty period. Keep the receipt and the oil specification for your records.

Change intervals in a hot climate

Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so you do not switch oil grades with the season. Change intervals depend on the oil type. One guide gives every 8,000 to 10,000 km or six months for full synthetic, whichever comes first, and every 5,000 km or four to five months for semi-synthetic. Your handbook may list a shorter schedule for severe use.

Quantity, delivery and quotes

Oil is sold in packs of 4 L, 5 L, 10 L and 20 L, so give the quantity in litres. Ask whether the quoted price includes GST, and whether delivery to Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio is charged on top. Listed prices are per pack, so multiply by the number of packs you need.

What to write in your request

Give the viscosity grade and the car make, model and year, the approval your manual names, the base oil type (mineral, semi-synthetic or full synthetic), a brand if you have one, the quantity in litres, the delivery city and your budget. If you want a filter or other service items in the same order, say so.

Describe the car and the oil in your own words in the BlaBlaPrice chat. BlaBlaPrice's AI reads the request, asks for missing details such as the car model and approval, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore before it shows the prices it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and delivery terms. Your contacts stay hidden, and you choose with whom to exchange them. Start with a request, read how BlaBlaPrice works, or compare transmission oils if the car needs gear oil too.
