The best type of oil for a diesel engine is mobil 1 , and it should be at least 10w40 if not 20w50, I'd call a dealer and ask about the weight. They can also tell you how much oil it will hold, or you can just add one quart at a time until you get it full on the dip stick, I'd say no more that 4-6 quarts total, but I do know that diesel's usually take alittle more that a standard gas engine.

I need the timing marks of a Toyota hilux KZ TE with turbo 3L 2002 model

John, find which is Spark Plug Number 1.
Then remove all spark plugs
Place long straws down the Spark Plug Housing
Turn Crankshaft
Watch the straw go up and down while turning
Mark the straw at its peak (coming to the top)
Now you are at ATG's peak (diy/mechanics will say "TDC")

My toyota 3L D4D HILUX turbo is making a high pitch noise, i also do not have enough power like i use to have. added a bottle of injector cleaner in my tank of gas and cleaned that sensor on airfilter

the high pitch noise and lack of power indicates air escaping under a turbo hose or a crack in the intercooler
possibly also that the boost dump valve is not operating correctly

I have toyota hilux 2.5d4d 2kd engine it smokes allot blue smoke an engine shakes allot what can be problem

if there is a lot of blue smoke its burning engine oil and the shaking is because the plugs are not firing correctly because they are fouled by the oil. also could be plug wires worn out, distributor cap and rotor if it has one as you don`t say what year this is. the burning oil could be rings, valve seals/guides, PCV system plugged.

How much oil do i put in my 2005 toyota hilux 4x4 3l turbo diesel when i do my oil change??

As many as it takes to read full on the dipstick. The owners manual is also a good resource for fluid capacities. If you have 4-6 quarts on hand that should be enough to get you to the full mark after the oil change.
