Up for sale here is a Toyota 3L diesel engine for sale in fairly used condition. It’s a complete 2.8 litre four-cylinder diesel, removed from a donor vehicle, cleaned, compression-tested and ready to crate and ship to you, wherever you are. If your Hilux, Hiace or Dyna has a worn-out 3L, this is the engine that goes straight back in.
We confirm fitment and send you photos of the exact engine before you pay. No stock pictures, no guessing.

A Hiace and a Hilux of the same year can use different sumps, mounts and brackets. We match by your engine code and chassis number, so the Toyota 3L diesel engine for sale you get is the one that suits your vehicle.
Why a Fairly Used 3L Makes Sense
The 3L is simple and tough. No turbo, no common rail, mechanical injection, parts everywhere. Mechanics all over the world know it. A good used one with healthy compression often outlasts the vehicle it goes into, as long as the cooling system and timing belt are looked after.
Buying a fairly used Toyota 3L diesel engine for sale usually costs far less than rebuilding your old one, and you’re back on the road in days.
Fairly Used, Reconditioned or Rebuilt?
This price is for a fairly used engine, tested and sold as it came out of the donor vehicle. That’s the best value for most Hilux and Hiace owners. If your vehicle hauls heavy loads every day, we can also quote a reconditioned engine with new gaskets, seals and timing belt, or a full rebuild. Tell us how you use the vehicle and we’ll recommend honestly.
How We Test Every Engine
- Compression test on all four cylinders.
- Check of block and head for cracks or repairs.
- Oil check for coolant or metal.
- Engine turned by hand to feel for tight spots.
- Injection pump and injectors checked for leaks.
- Photos and, on request, video sent to you.
Engines that fail don’t get sold. Every Toyota 3L diesel engine for sale on this site has passed these checks.
What We Need From You
- Make, model and year
- Chassis or VIN number, and model code (LN, LH or LY)
- Engine code from the block
- 2WD or 4WD, manual or automatic
- A photo of your current engine
