Engine Oil Prices Jump Again: New Hikes from 4 Companies in Egypt

Engine oil prices in Egypt are climbing once more. Four major companies announced updated price lists during August, adding fresh pressure on millions of car owners across the local market.

Consecutive Increases Hit the Sector

The four companies are Toyota Egypt, Misr Petroleum Company, Castrol, and Caltex — all long-established brands in the domestic oil market. The new lists follow a series of consecutive price hikes seen over the past months.

Pressure on production and import costs remains relentless. Geopolitical tensions in the region have pushed up raw material prices and global shipping and transport costs, directly impacting products in the Egyptian market. The sector is going through a tough phase.

Latest Prices in August 2026

The following report tracks the latest engine oil prices announced by the four companies during August 2026, highlighting the most significant changes in price lists compared to previous periods. The differences appear clearly across all oil categories.

The increases cover various oil types — from mineral to fully synthetic. Car owners in Cairo and other governorates will be directly affected by these adjustments, especially as reliance on regular maintenance grows to preserve engine efficiency.

The new prices reflect a complex economic reality, with companies facing escalating costs at every stage of the supply chain. While consumers search for cheaper alternatives, the quality of genuine oils remains a priority to protect engines from premature wear.
