The fifth series of gasoline engines from Toyota dates back to 1987, when the Japanese automaker introduced a new line of engines from 3 modifications: 5A-F, 5A-FE and 5A-FHE. Further in the article we will talk about what kind of oil should be poured into the unit with the FE index and in what quantity.
The 1.5-liter 5A-FE engine is an upgrade of the 5A-F power plant and is, in fact, its second generation. Among the features of the novelty, the manufacturer notes an improved fuel injection system - EFI injection, as well as a decently increased power. The latter was made possible by equipping the engine with two camshafts, when one drives 2 exhaust valves, and the second - 2 intake valves (Double OverHead Camshaft scheme - 4 valves per cylinder). Compared to its predecessor, the cylinders have a smaller diameter (78.7mm vs. 81mm). At different times from 1990 to 2006, different models were equipped with the engine: Toyota Carina, Crown, Corolla, Sprinter, Vios and Soluna. He has established himself as a reliable and fairly maintainable unit, whose maintenance is financially almost imperceptible.
Like all motors, the 5A-FE is not without some drawbacks. For example, this is a huge oil consumption after 300 thousand runs, as well as critical dips at medium speeds. The latter may be due not only to defects in the ignition or power supply system, but also to the quality of gasoline at Russian gas stations. Among other operating problems, the owners note the adjustment of the gaps in the intake valves, the fixation of the piston fingers, as well as the rapid wear of the camshaft bed. Nevertheless, according to statistics, the number of calls to the service station for the purpose of overhauling the motor is significantly lower than that of other engines of the same category (cars of classes C and D). And if it is necessary to replace the unit, the Japanese version can be easily found on the domestic market at an affordable price.

The 5A FE engine is a power unit manufactured by Toyota, the direct successor to the 4A. This motor has high technical characteristics and a lot of varieties and modifications. The applicability of the power unit is wide.
Specifications
The 5A FE engine is one of the most popular power units manufactured by Toyota. At the beginning of production, he received a 16-valve block head, and later there was a developed version with a 20-valve cylinder head. The only difference from the standard motor is the cylinder diameter, which is reduced, due to which the volume was reduced to 1.5 liters.

Motor modifications
The 5A engine has a lot of modifications that are used on various Toyota vehicles.
Engine 5A
- 5A-F - carbureted version, similar to 4A-F with reduced volume. Compression ratio 9.8, power 85 hp The engine was in production from 1987 to 1990.
- 5A-FE - analogue of 4A-FE, is a 5A-F with electronic fuel injection, compression ratio 9.6, power 105 hp. The production of the engine was started in 1987, finished in 2006, after which the production was transferred to FAW and is currently equipped with Chinese cars.
- 5A-FHE - version with a modified cylinder head, different camshafts, a slightly modified intake, a different exhaust manifold, power increased to 120 hp. It was in production from 19891 to 1999 and was put on cars for the domestic Japanese market.
Service
Maintenance of the 5A engine is carried out at intervals of 15,000 km. Recommended maintenance should be carried out every 10,000 km. So, consider a detailed technical service card:
5A motor valve adjustment process
TO-1: Oil change, oil filter replacement. Carried out after the first 1000-1500 km of run. This stage is also called break-in, since the elements of the motor are lapped.
TO-2: The second maintenance is carried out after 10,000 km of run. So, the engine oil and filter are changed again, as well as the air filter element. At this stage, the pressure on the engine is also measured and the valves are adjusted.
TO-3: At this stage, which is performed after 20,000 km, a standard oil change procedure, fuel filter replacement, and diagnostics of all engine systems are carried out.
TO-4: The fourth maintenance is perhaps the easiest. After 30,000 km, only the oil and the oil filter element change.
Conclusion
The 5A motor has fairly high technical characteristics. Fairly easy to maintain and repair. As for tuning, then a complete overhaul of the engine. Chip tuning of the power plant is especially popular.
In 1987, the Japanese auto giant Toyota launched a new series of engines for passenger cars, which was called "5A". The production of the series continued until 1999. The Toyota 5A engine was produced in three modifications: 5A-F, 5A-FE, 5A-FHE.
The new 5A-FE engine had a DOHC 4-valve valve per cylinder design, i.e. an engine equipped with two camshafts in the Double OverHead Camshaft block head, where each camshaft drives its own set of valves. With this arrangement, one camshaft drives two intake valves, the other two exhaust valves. The valve drive is carried out, as a rule, by pushers. The DOHC scheme in the Toyota 5A series engines has significantly increased their power.
The second generation of Toyota 5A series engines
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
An improved version of the 5A-F engine was the second generation 5A-FE engine. Toyota designers have thoroughly worked on improving the fuel injection system, as a result, the updated version of the 5A-FE was equipped with an electronic fuel injection system EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection.

If we talk about the quality of the design, it is difficult to find a more successful motor. At the same time, the engine is very maintainable and does not cause difficulties for car owners with the purchase of spare parts. A Japanese-Chinese joint venture between Toyota and Tianjin FAW Xiali in China still produces this engine for its Vela and Weizhi small cars.
Japanese motors in Russian conditions
5A-FE under the hood of Toyota Sprinter
In Russia, owners of Toyota cars of various models with 5A-FE modification engines give a generally positive assessment of the performance of 5A-FE. According to them, the 5A-FE resource is up to 300 thousand km. run. With further operation, problems with oil consumption begin. should be replaced at a run of 200 thousand km, after which the replacement should be carried out every 100 thousand km.
Many Toyota owners with 5A-FE engines are faced with a problem that manifests itself in the form of noticeable dips at medium engine speeds. This phenomenon, according to experts, is caused either by poor-quality Russian fuel, or problems in the power supply and ignition system.
Subtleties of repair and purchase of a contract motor
Also, during the operation of 5A-FE motors, minor shortcomings are revealed:
- the engine is prone to high wear of the camshaft beds;
- fixed piston pins;
- difficulties sometimes arise with adjusting the clearances in the intake valves.
However, the overhaul of the 5A-FE is quite rare.
If you need to replace the entire motor, on the Russian market today you can easily find a 5A-FE contract engine in very good condition and at an affordable price. It is worth explaining that it is customary to call engines that have not been operated in Russia contracted. Speaking of Japanese contract engines, it should be noted that most of them have low mileage and all manufacturer's maintenance requirements are met. Japan has long been considered the world leader in the speed of renewal of the car lineup. Thus, a lot of cars get to auto-dismantling there, the engines of which have a fair amount of service life.
The automotive giant Toyota in 1987 began work on the release of a new line of power units installed on passenger cars. She received the marking "5A". In this article, we will analyze the engine 5AF.E.. During the entire period of production, which amounted to 12 years, the power plant was produced in three types of modification.
They received the following names:
- first generation - 5A-F;
- second generation - 5A-FE;
- third generation - 5A-FHE.
First generation
The power unit with the index 5A-F is distinguished by the presence of a gas distribution mechanism, the design of which provides for the installation of 4 valves per 1 cylinder according to the DOHC scheme. In other words, the engine has two camshafts that move their own series of valves.
This system allows one camshaft to move the intake valves and the other to move the exhaust. The valves are driven by tappets. Thanks to the DOHC system, Toyota 5A engines have high power ratings.
Generation two
The 5A-FE engine is an improved version of the 5A-FE. A large modification was touched by the system responsible for the injection of the fuel mixture. The end result showed that an electronic fuel injection system was installed in the engine, called EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection.
| Model | body type | Release period | Production market |
| carina | AT170 | 1990–1992 | Japanese |
| carina | AT192 | 1992–1996 | Japanese |
| carina | AT212 | 1996–2001 | Japanese |
| Corolla | AE91 | 1989–1992 | Japanese |
| Corolla | AE100 | 1991–2001 | Japanese |
| Corolla | AE110 | 1995–2000 | Japanese |
| Corolla Ceres | AE100 | 1992–1998 | Japanese |
| corona | AT170 | 1989–1992 | Japanese |
| Soluna | AL50 | 1996–2003 | Asiatic |
| Sprinter | AE91 | 1989–1992 | Japanese |
| Sprinter | AE100 | 1991–1995 | Japanese |
| Sprinter | AE110 | 1995–2000 | Japanese |
| Sprinter Marino | AE100 | 1992–1998 | Japanese |
| Vios | AXP42 | 2002–2006 | Chinese |
Due to the high quality of the design, this motor is considered very successful. It is also well refurbished. Finding spare parts for this power plant is not a problem. The release of cars of the Japanese-Chinese joint venture Toyota and Tianjin FAW Xiali is made with these power plants under the hood to this day. They are put on small cars such as Vela and Weizhi.
How is the motor in Russia?
Most domestic owners of Toyota vehicles, under the hood of which there is an engine modification called 5A-FE, leave positive ratings for the performance of 5A-FE. They claim that the average engine life is 300 thousand km. Further operation of the car is accompanied by an increase in the consumption of oily fluid. The valve stem seals should be replaced when the mileage is 200,000 km. Subsequent such operations must be carried out at intervals of 100,000 km.
Many owners of Toyota, whose power plant is called 5A-FE, have encountered a problem that is felt in traction dips when driving at a medium speed of the crankshaft. This occurs when using low-quality Russian fuel, or there are problems in the power and ignition systems.
Cons of the motor
The process of operating 5A-FE power plants is not without drawbacks
- Beds mounted on camshafts are prone to increased wear.
- Fixed type of piston pins.
- Difficulties in adjusting the intake valve clearances.
Despite this, the overhaul of this motor is rarely performed.
If it is necessary to replace the engine installation, it is quite easy to purchase a 5A-FE contract engine. Most of them are in good condition and the price is reasonable.
It is worth noting that Japanese contract engines were not operated on the territory of the Russian Federation. Japanese manufacturers are leaders in terms of the speed with which vehicle lineups are updated. This allows companies that dismantle spare parts to carry out the purchase of vehicles. In which engines with a fair margin of operation are installed.
We bring to your attention the price list for a contract engine (without mileage in the Russian Federation) 5AF.E.
