Close Oil Change Service in Grand Junction, CO
As your Toyota makes its way to your Grand Junction destinations, the moving parts within its engine create plenty of friction and heat! Over time, this can result in performance issues if there is not adequate lubrication. To prevent these problems, visit our Service Department at Western Slope Toyota for an oil change.
Importance of Oil Changes
It’s no surprise that the powertrain of your Tacoma, RAV4, or Tundra, is capable of providing impressive strength and stamina. However, the stress of operation builds up over time, so oil must be present to keep the engine running smoothly. It absorbs heat and creates a protective film between the parts that prevents them from scraping directly against each other. This fluid also serves to clean the system by flushing out any debris that makes its way under the hood during your Highway 340 commute. We understand that it can be difficult to make time for routine maintenance, but these tasks will often save you from having to handle expensive repairs in the future.
Synthetic vs Conventional Fluids
Depending on the requirements of your Toyota, you will need to choose between synthetic or conventional oil. The conventional variety is generally used for older vehicles. This fluid is known for its affordability and must be replaced every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Owners of newer models, especially those that have a turbocharged engine, will likely prefer synthetic oil. It contains special chemicals that excel at cleaning away built-up contaminants. You will notice that its price is typically higher, but it only needs to be replenished every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. If you’re not sure which option is ideal, fill out the Ask a Tech form on our website for more information before your next trip to Long Family Memorial Park.

Testimonials
“ Brandon Case, my Salesman was professional, not pushy and super informative. He made buying a new car a great experience! Would definitely refer or go back to him again. ”
“ Just had a vehicle purchase experience with Sadie and team today. I must say, when you want a sales team that truly LISTENS to needs and what kind if experience you want, look no further! From Sadie in sales to the financial officer. The whole experience from the test drive to driving off the lot was quick and easy. Every line explained. I recommend this team wholeheartedly. ”
“ We were driving from Salt Lake City to Glenwood Springs and heard a noise under the car. We stopped here and they looked at our Lexus right away. They found nothing (well maybe our roof rack bars were a little loose) and did not even charge us for service. Everyone there was so kind and friendly; they even brought us a water bowl for our dog. What a fabulous (and thankfully short!) experience. ”
“ I recently had Western Slope Toyota’s service department do some major work to my Land Cruiser. I got Travis as my service advisor and it was a great experience. I live much closer to Bighorn Toyota but had a terrible experience at their shop, I will never use them again. It is a night and day difference between the two. I highly recommend using Western Slope and specifically Travis for your service needs, he will get you sorted out. He was great at communicating and keeping me up to date with the status of my vehicle. ”
“ Travis and the rest of the service dept are amazing. They have an RFID detector that can be used to find tracking devices on vehicles. There was one placed on my Jeep by an abusive ex boyfriend and they both found it and were very kind about an obviously terrible scenario. 10 stars. ”
“ Purchased a new Toyota Corolla with help from Nate. Also rented a vehicle for a long trip prior to car purchase and Yolanda helped us. Awesome team and the car has been a real blessing! ”
“ I recently purchased a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid at Western Slope Toyota. My mom was with me that day and we were immediately greeted by a very friendly and welcoming sales associate, Anthony Deherrera! From the beginning he listened to my wishes to purchase a new vehicle and which vehicle I was hoping to purchase. My mom and I had previously read many excellent reviews on the RAV4 Hybrid, so that was my goal. Right away Anthony showed us what was available on the lot and I fell in love with the gorgeous 2025 Cavalry Blue model! He listed all the amazing features of the vehicle and was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He answered all of our many questions and was so kind and patient. We then took a test drive and my love for the vehicle only deepened! Anthony also impressed us with how much he loves and respects Toyotas and how he drives them personally. Anthony was never pushy, but let the vehicle sell itself! He made my car buying experience an extremely pleasant one instead of a dreaded one. After the vehicle purchase he has continued to keep in contact with me to make sure that all is going well. That has been very much appreciated! Anthony is definitely a treasured asset of Western Slope Toyota and provides the highest quality of service to others. I highly recommend him in every way! ”
“ My family had been looking for a Sienna for a long time, but they were back ordered everywhere. We lucked in to finding one that was arriving sooner than most at Western Slope so I reached out and Jose got us the car and organized everything so I just had to fly in and sign some papers. He was a great communicator, kept everything on track, and was super friendly in the process! ”
“ Anthony was great when we were buying our new 4Runner TRD Sport. He was easy to work with, didn’t feel pushy, and everything was overall a good buying experience. It was a big decision and he made it stress free and smooth. I recommend. 😊 ”
“ It was my first time purchasing a vehicle at a dealership and I met Anthony. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in making my decision. He was very patient and knew exactly what I was looking for in my situation. All around great guy who won’t steer u wrong. Thank you Anthony! ”
“ Anthony was great with helping us buy a new vehicle. After telling him what we wanted he discussed in detail all of the options including pros and cons. He was very knowledgeable about all the vehicles. He was upfront, not pushy, personable and genuine. We ended up with the vehicle that matched our needs. Even after buying he has been available to answer any questions. Highly recommend! ”
“ It was a pleasure working with Anthony Deherrera he made it fun buying a new tundra had me in and out in no time. ”
“ Lou and Rebecca were both great to work with! They stayed after hours to make sure that I was able to pick up my four runner same day that Lou worked through other clients to complete my application. I am very happy I went to WSA! Thank you! ”
“ I just have to say, I am beyond thrilled with the recent purchase of my Toyota Tacoma. I was in a pretty tough spot with my previous vehicle loan and my goal was to get into a better situation with a more reliable vehicle. I have only ever owned Jeeps and Rams so I was a little hesitant to look into Toyota lol but…when I test drove my newly purchased Tacoma, I was blown away. It drives so smooth!!! Haha I wasn’t sure if it would work out, due to the situation I was in… but the team here at WST went above and beyond to help me out. And the ease of the purchase was amazing! I seriously cannot thank this team enough, you are a wonderful dealership with the most amazing team! Huge shoutout to Nate specifically, you are the best! Thank you again for an incredible experience! ”
“ Lois did amazing ”
“ Travis in the service department was incredible!! They helped me after I got scammed at grease monkey. Grateful for his help and great service, you can definitely trust them here! ”
“ I took my car in to get serviced and I was very pleased! When I arrived I needed to ask two of the sales associates where I was supposed to go because I had never been, and they were so kind to me and gave me exact directions. When I pulled in to the service bay, both of the men working were also very kind! Carlos was the one who helped me with my service and I was very thankful for his help! I wasn't sure what my car would need, and instead of just doing everything I thought my car needed, he suggested what he thought would be appropriate and actually saved me A LOT of money on maintenance my car wasn't in need of. I expected to be there for a little bit, but I also found their work time to be excellent. I was there for 2 hours and just brought a book to read and that helped the time pass by. The gal who pulled my car up to the front (I forgot her name!) was also very polite!! I will most definitely be bringing my car back here for any future services! Top notch service and top notch staff!! ”
“ Sadie was very helpful to our family, helping us look at cars for a first time car buyer! Very nice and professional. ”
“ Brought in my car after a piece fell off right after I'd had it repaired in SLC, they were super kind and fast and worked with the other dealership to get it sorted out. Definitely recommend, it feels like the people here really care about their customers. ”
“ Great buying experience. Cooper Snyder is young but so honest with great instincts and people skills. I hear good things about service too - we shall see!! ”
“ Sadie Lamar was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She was a pleasure to work with! ”
“ We purchased a 2025 RAV4 Hybrid yesterday. We worked with Josh Muniz. He helped us out together a trade-in on our Highlander for the RAV. Working with Josh was easily the most pleasant car purchase we’ve ever experienced. The deal was fair, quick, professional and easy. We highly recommend working with Western Slope Auto - and with Josh! Thank you! ”
“ The dealership was very helpful. ”
“ From start to finish it was a simple and easy experience. Lance, my sales men and Rebecca my finance manager worked hand-in-hand to get my needs accomplished. They are phenomenal at their job and made it a fun experience :-) ”
“ Lois and Chris were wonderful getting me into my beautiful new Toyota Rav4. Bryan in finance was great too. Everyone was so polite, friendly and helpful. They made buying a car easy! Thank you! I love my vehicle! ”
“ Friendly and patient. Very informative and willing to help when I need it. ”
“ The WSA team is the absolute best in all areas! Everyone from sales and finance to parts and service. Taylor has always been our salesman and there for us in any situation! We have never left disappointed! Taylor has sold us 1 Tacoma, 1 Corolla, 2 4Runners, 2 Tundras, and 2 Sequoias. It is the satisfaction that we get from the entire team and especially Taylor Gasman that keeps us coming back! He is exceptionally knowledgeable in all vehicles and aspects of the process! A master! He will always make time and is always available, punctual, on time and follows up diligently! We will continue to come back! ”
“ We had an amazing experience at Western Slope Auto! Nate was incredibly helpful. He made the entire process easy, stress-free, and fun! I absolutely love my new Highlander and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. ”
“ Great experience! Everyone was helpful, informative & responsive without being salesy. Would gladly buy from them again. ”
“ I am upgrading my review from 2 stars to 3. Leaving original comments because I still think they are very valid. Reason for upgrade...1 week after getting my truck back, my truck would not start. On the verge of tears, I called the service manager who immediately helped. Needless to say, I was shocked. It was definitely a breathe of fresh air. Thank you. Original post...8 weeks and $6800 later, my check engine light is fixed. They gave me a "discount" on labor, but charged me twice Toyota's own MSRP for most parts. They did not cover the cost of one repair that they said they would. I will give them 5 stars for the courtesy vehicle, but the rest of my experience with Western Slope Toyota's service this summer has left me never wanting to go there again. ”
“ I’ll be selling my Toyota. I don’t want to deal with these people again. ”
“ Western Slope Toyota completely dropped the ball. This week my I helped a very close friend to buy a 2026 Toyota Tacoma. Financing wasn’t an issue — this was basically a cash deal. We told the salesman exactly what we wanted, including the specific color, which matters when you’re dropping this much money on a new vehicle. We were in no hurry and willing to wait to get color wanted. Instead of actually trying to help, the salesman shrugged and said, “We don’t have that and it’s going to be hard to get,” then immediately tried to push a different color — even after being told multiple times that wasn’t what we wanted. No effort. No options. No “let’s see what we can do.” Nothing. Just lazy salesmanship. So we drove to Glenwood Springs the next day, worked with an amazing salesman named Adam, and left with the exact truck we wanted in the exact color, just in time for Christmas. Funny part? They said a lot of customers from Mesa County are coming up there because Western Slope Toyota isn’t willing to try. That means Mesa County loses tax revenue, local workers lose commissions, and customers lose confidence — all because Western Slope Toyota couldn’t be bothered to try to make a sale. Color may seem “small,” but it’s a big deal when you’re paying this kind of money. They made it clear our business didn’t matter. Won’t be recommending them to anyone. ”
“ I came to this dealership on the day before thanks Giving after looking at a car on line for several weeks. Had my brother in law and Sister go look at it since I am out of town. The internet said the price was @ 42k. I went in with an offer of 38 ( fully expecting to negotiate with them) and they would'nt even Negotiate with me! I would have bought the car that day. So now they still have the car on their lot! Their Loss! ”
“ I never buy a new cars but my wife decided she had to have a new Toyota RAV4 she took it in for oil change maintenance and told them that she had a tire that had a slow leak they failed to detect leak and sent her out the door she told me about this and I took a soapy bottle of water outside and within 30 seconds found the leak why can't the mechanics at Western slope Toyota Ford or whatever they want to call themselves learn how to actually take care of their customers. She had a tire problem before and they gave her a appointment a week out. This place lives up to name stealership. Rob you on car and very poor service. What will happen when she really needs service. I will have to cover. Just because they have service department doesn't me good service. ”
“ Our sales lady was wonderful. The finance guy, Jesse, not so much. I was told Kevin the manager would call and check in, but I guess that is not happening since we bought a used car for our son who is a new driver! LOL, and can we talk about the used car office? The office is old and dingy. The new car and finance offices are bright clean and new.... I guess Toyota just cares less about the customers who are buying used! MY recommendation?? If buying a car new or not...go somewhere else. ”
“ DO NOT GO WITH JOSE. Everyone else is sweet and genuinely want to help you. However, Jose only cares about getting your money. ”
“ ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE!!!! Scammers!!! If I could give negative stars I would. Purchased a used vehicle here beginning of June and less than a week after driving it I had to get the transmission replaced, then I take my car through the wash. Turns out it leaks lots of water through the door panels on the driver and passenger side. Clearly they either have absolutely no idea how to do a proper inspection before selling a vehicle or they knowingly sell you terrible vehicles. I have to believe it’s the later since they didn’t let me know one of the vehicles I was going to purchase needed the engine gaskets replaced, a minor 2-3k on top of the asking price, they were unwilling to fix. They only let me know this once I had already driven 2hrs and arrived at the dealership. If I wasn’t in such a desperate need of a car at the time I would’ve just walked away. Now I’m stuck with a terrible car, and the dealership continues to ignore my reaching out. Do not buy a vehicle here! ”
“ Sadie was absolutely amazing to work with! I purchased a RAV4 Limited and she was extremely patient, super sweet, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the whole car-buying process feel easy and stress-free. I never felt pressured at any point—she truly listened to what I wanted and took the time to answer all of my questions. Her professionalism and genuine care really stood out, and it made a big difference in my experience. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and highly recommend asking for Sadie if you’re looking for a great, no-pressure car-buying experience! ”
