Ordering was simple and I could split the payment, no problem. Delivery was quicker than expected — and you don't pay freight or send the old motor back. Engine was nice and clean on inspection. Very happy with it.

Engine was a good match. Just done the 500km break-in oil change and it's running well. Got the car back on the road fairly quickly — wouldn't hesitate to go this way again. Thanks guys.

As advertised, perfect fitment. Awesome warranty, delivered in 2 days. Somehow it was cheaper and easier to get this new crate engine supplied and delivered than it was to source a second-hand engine. Have recommended to others.

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
Engine family3L
Fueldiesel
Capacity2.8 litres
Configuration4 cylinders

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 used-engine running history or reconditioned core.
  • No core exchange required.

Plan with your installer

Transfer the required accessories

  • Serviceable intake and exhaust manifolds, alternator and brackets.
  • Required fuel-system, electrical and other vehicle-specific external components after inspection.
  • Confirm timing components, covers, sump and other supply details before fitting.
  • Budget for workshop labour, fluids, filters and additional parts.

Keep your original engine until the workshop has completed the accessory transfer. Do not assume photographed external parts are included without confirming the supply.

03 / Quality from the inside out

Take a closer look at your 3L replacement.

Second view from the Toyota 3L product gallery. Confirm the engine code and installation requirements.
01

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.

02

Match the original specification

Confirm the 3L engine code and non-turbo application before placing your order. A turbo conversion requires a separate assessment.

03

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.

04

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.

Explore our manufacturing process →

04 / Before installation

Plan the job around the whole vehicle.

01 / DIAGNOSE

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.

02 / INSPECT

Check the parts you reuse

Inspect the transferred accessories and check the cooling, fuel and electrical systems as part of the installation plan.

03 / INSTALL

Follow the fitting requirements

Use professional installation and follow the required run-in procedure. Keep the installation invoice and service records for future support.
