Toyota solely refers to it as the L engine, not the 1L engine. Vehicles with the diesel engine were exclusive to Toyota Japan dealership locations called Toyota Diesel Store until that sales channel was disbanded in 1988. As of August 2020, the 5L-E engine is still used in Gibraltar in the fifth-generation Toyota HiAce, eighth-generation Toyota Hilux, second-generation Toyota Fortuner, and fourth-generation Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Some engines like the 2L-II and the 2L-T are still in production to the present day. It is the first diesel engine from Toyota to use a rubber timing belt in conjunction with a SOHC head. The L family is a family of inline four-cylinder diesel engines manufactured by Toyota, which first appeared in October 1977.
