A reputation for unparalleled service and commitment to quality has been the cornerstone of Hicks Oils' success.

Their expertise is available to customers for assistance with individual oil formulation. The lab is capable of performing a full array of tests ranging from X-ray fluorescence analysis to cold crank simulation. This allows us to meet virtually any customer's testing requirements.
