Engine & Oil Service in Lagos
Premium oil changes, filter care, and engine health checks focused on protection, performance, and longevity.
Engine oil is your powertrain’s primary insurance policy. The right grade, the right filter, and correct service intervals reduce friction heat, slow deposit formation, and help turbocharged engines live longer—especially important in hot climates.
We focus on doing the fundamentals exceptionally well: correct torque practices, clean work areas, careful fluid handling, and honest recommendations when wear items need attention beyond the oil service.
What drives your quote
Final costs depend on inspection findings, parts tier, and your approved scope — never a one-size menu price from a web page.
- Final cost depends on oil specification, capacity, filter type, and whether additional consumables are due.
- Most visits vary widely by vehicle segment — we confirm parts tier and labour scope before draining fluids.
- Speciality oils or cartridges are quoted before work begins so you can approve consciously.
Turnaround times
- Most oil services are completed within 45–90 minutes when no additional repairs are required.
- If additional work is approved (e.g., air filter, brakes), we’ll update timing the same day.
Warranty, parts & quality policy
- We stand behind correct installation and specified fluids for eligible labour items (details on invoice).
- Manufacturer drivetrain concerns unrelated to servicing are triaged separately with clear diagnostics if needed.
- Parts warranties follow supplier terms; OE vs premium aftermarket options are disclosed up front.

What clients say
Stories below mirror the testimonials carousel on the homepage—swap in verified quotes and headshots when your team provides them.
“I have tried three other auto shops on the Island and none of them came close to HIQ. The diagnostics were thorough, the pricing was transparent, and they finished two hours ahead of schedule. The value has been worth every naira.”
“The concierge service is real — one call and everything is sorted. I get detailed reports after every service, transparent invoices, and zero surprises. HIQ is in a class of its own.”
Frequently asked questions
Should I use synthetic oil?
If your manufacturer specifies synthetic—or you have a turbo, direct injection, or tight tolerances—synthetic is usually the best protection. We recommend grades that match your engine and usage.
My engine sounds rough—do I need an oil change?
Not always. Noises can be belt tensioners, pulleys, mounts, or internal issues. If symptoms worry you, book diagnostics rather than guessing.
How quickly can I return after an oil service?
Unless we advise a bedding-in procedure for a specific repair, normal driving is typically fine immediately after verification checks.
Do you reset service indicators?
When tooling supports your model, yes. Some vehicles require OEM-level reset procedures—we’ll confirm availability.
Can you supply oil I purchased myself?
Generally we prefer supplying oil so specification, batch quality, and warranty traceability stay consistent—ask if you have a special case.
