Hilux Oil Level Sensor – D4D Short Type (2005–2015)
Maintain accurate engine oil monitoring with this Hilux oil level sensor, designed as a short-type replacement for D4D 1KD and 2KD engines in Toyota Hilux models from 2005 to 2015. When your factory sensor fails or provides erratic readings, this direct-fit aftermarket unit restores precise oil-level detection—helping protect your engine from low-oil damage and ensuring optimum performance.
Why Replace Your Oil Level Sensor?
Over time, heat and vibration can degrade the factory oil level sensor’s internal components, causing false low-oil warnings or dashboard errors. Consequently, you may risk running your engine with insufficient oil or undergo unnecessary service visits. By installing this Hilux oil level sensor, you:
-
Ensure accurate oil-level readings at all times
-
Prevent engine damage due to low or unmonitored oil
-
Avoid false warnings that interrupt your drive
-
Restore dashboard confidence without paying dealer prices
Moreover, because it matches OEM specifications, it integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s wiring harness and engine control unit (ECU).

Easy Installation Guide
First, park your Hilux on level ground and switch off the engine. Next, locate the oil pan sensor port beneath the engine, then disconnect the electrical connector. Unscrew the old sensor with the correct socket, and thread in the new Hilux oil level sensor by hand to avoid cross-threading. Finally, torque to 20 Nm, reconnect the harness, and clear any stored ECU codes using an OBD-II scanner.
If you prefer, a skilled mechanic or auto electrician can complete this replacement in under 20 minutes, ensuring correct torque and wiring integrity.
