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.

Bought a crate motor for my Hyundai i30 — so far done 30,000km and it hasn't skipped a beat. Would buy again if I needed to.

01 / Match your vehicle

Toyota 5L-E engine compatibility

Match the 5L-E 3.0L four-cylinder diesel with electronic injection, 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 2000–2005 5L-E · 3.0L diesel · electronic injection
Toyota Hiace 2000–2005 5L-E · 3.0L diesel · electronic injection

Engine family5L-EFueldieselCapacity3.0 litresConfiguration4 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.

Electronic injection: confirm your 5L-E version.

The 5LE application uses an electronic injection pump. This identifies vehicle compatibility, not an included pump or ECU. If your engine uses mechanical injection, check our separate Toyota 5L listing. Confirm the original engine code and fuel-system version before ordering.

02 / Plan the engine swap

A new 5L-E 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

  • 3.0L four-cylinder diesel long-block assembly.
  • 5L-E specification for the listed electronic-injection applications.
  • Rocker cover and oil pan are not included.
  • No used-engine running history or reconditioned core.
  • No core exchange required.

Plan with your installer

Transfer the required accessories

  • Rocker cover and oil pan from your original engine after inspection and cleaning.
  • Serviceable intake and exhaust manifolds, alternator and brackets.
  • Required fuel-system, electrical and other vehicle-specific external components after inspection.
  • Confirm timing components and any additional supply requirements before fitting.
  • Budget for workshop labour, fluids, filters and additional parts.

Keep your original engine until the workshop has transferred the rocker cover, oil pan and required accessories. Product photos may show excluded parts fitted; the written supply details take precedence.

03 / Quality from the inside out

Take a closer look at your 5L-E replacement.

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 5L-E engine code and electronic injection system before placing your order. Do not assume compatibility with the mechanical-injection 5L.

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.

Toyota Hilux 5L-E engine replacement FAQs

Which vehicles does this Toyota 5L-E engine suit?

This listing covers Toyota Hilux and Hiace 2000–2005 applications with the 5L-E 3.0L four-cylinder diesel and electronic injection pump. Confirm the engine code, fuel-system version and build details before ordering. Vehicle name and year alone do not establish fitment.

What is the difference between 5L-E and 5L?

Does the 5L-E long motor include the rocker cover, oil pan or injection pump?

The rocker cover and oil pan are excluded and must transfer from the original engine after inspection and cleaning. Electronic injection identifies the application; it does not mean an injection pump, ECU or wiring is included. Confirm the required fuel-system, electrical and timing components with our team before fitting.

Is this 5LE engine brand new or reconditioned?

It is a brand-new diesel long block with no previous running history, not a used motor or reconditioned core. No core exchange is required. Keep your original engine until your workshop has completed the accessory transfer.

What preparation is required before running this diesel?

Use a qualified installer to inspect and transfer the required accessories, check and set valve clearances, complete commissioning and follow the run-in requirements. Diagnose the original failure and check the cooling, lubrication, fuel and electrical systems. This diesel is not hot tested.

What is the Toyota Hilux or Hiace 5L-E engine replacement cost?

The live price above is for the supplied long block.
