01 / Match your vehicle
Toyota 3L engine compatibility
Match the 3L 2.8L four-cylinder non-turbo diesel, the build details and the original engine specification. The listed years are a guide, not a guarantee for every Hilux or Hiace.
| Vehicle | Listed years | Engine version |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota Hilux | 1988–1997 | 3L · 2.8L non-turbo diesel |
| Toyota Hiace | 1988–1997 | 3L · 2.8L non-turbo diesel |
Other engine codes, models and conversions require a separate fitment check. Send our team your engine details and a photo if you are unsure.
3L is the engine code. Capacity is 2.8 litres.
This listing is a non-turbo 3L replacement, not a 3.0-litre engine or turbo conversion package. Match the engine code instead of ordering by the badge or capacity alone.
02 / Plan the engine swap
A new 3L diesel long block.
Your checked accessories.
Start with a brand-new engine assembly, then have your installer identify and inspect the parts needed from your original motor.
The engine you are buying
Brand new long block
- 2.8L four-cylinder diesel long-block assembly.
- Non-turbo 3L specification for the listed applications.
- Original external accessories transfer after inspection.

- No core exchange required.
Plan with your installer
Transfer the required accessories

03 / Quality from the inside out
Take a closer look at your 3L replacement.
A new engine foundation
A brand-new long block avoids the previous running history of a used motor. Compare supply, fitting work and warranty when considering a reconditioned alternative.
Match the original specification
Confirm the 3L engine code and non-turbo application before placing your order. A turbo conversion requires a separate assessment.
Set diesel valve clearances
Your qualified installer must check and set valve clearances and complete the required fitting, commissioning and run-in procedures. This diesel is not hot tested.
Resolve the original fault
Check the cooling, lubrication and fuel systems and inspect the accessories being transferred so an unresolved fault is not carried into the replacement.
04 / Before installation
Plan the job around the whole vehicle.
Find the original cause
Have your workshop diagnose the old engine before replacement. Address any cooling, lubrication or other vehicle-system fault that contributed to the failure.
Check the parts you reuse
Inspect the transferred accessories and check the cooling, fuel and electrical systems as part of the installation plan.
Follow the fitting requirements
Use professional installation and follow the required run-in procedure. Keep the installation invoice and service records for future support.
