2.4L • 2AZ-FE • 4-Cylinder • Gasoline • VIN D • 5th Digit
If you need a 2008 Toyota RAV4 engine, confirming the exact engine application is important before choosing a replacement. This page covers the 2.4L 2AZ-FE four-cylinder configuration identified by VIN D in the 5th digit.
2008 Toyota RAV4 Engine Overview
The 2008 Toyota RAV4 was available with multiple engine configurations, so engine size alone isn’t enough to identify the correct replacement. Toyota’s owner’s manual specifically identifies the 2.4L 4-cylinder 2AZ-FE engine for this generation of RAV4.
The application covered on this page is:
2.4L • 2AZ-FE • 4-Cylinder • VIN D • 5th Digit
The 2AZ-FE is a naturally aspirated gasoline four-cylinder engine with Toyota’s VVT-i technology. Parts references for this exact application also identify the engine as a 2.4-liter unit with the 2AZFE manufacturer code.
If your RAV4 needs a replacement motor, providing the VIN and vehicle details can help narrow down the correct application before discussing availability.

Need a Replacement Engine for Your RAV4?
When looking for a replacement engine, it can be tempting to search only by vehicle year and engine size. However, the 2008 RAV4 was offered with more than one engine configuration, making the VIN and engine code useful for narrowing down the application.
For this particular application, the important identifiers are:
2008 Toyota RAV4 + 2.4L + 2AZ-FE + VIN D + 5th Digit + 4-Cylinder
If your vehicle matches these specifications, you can provide the complete VIN to our team so the application can be checked before moving forward.
How to Identify the Correct 2AZ-FE Engine
The 2AZ-FE engine is the key technical identifier for this application.
1. Confirm the Vehicle Year
Start by confirming that the vehicle is a 2008 Toyota RAV4.
2. Confirm Engine Size
The application on this page is the 2.4L four-cylinder, not the larger V6 configuration that was also available in the RAV4. Current fitment references distinguish the 2.4L VIN-D application from the 3.5L VIN-K application.
3. Check the VIN
The VIN can be found on the driver’s-side dashboard and other vehicle documents. Use it to confirm the applicable engine identification.
4. Check the 5th Digit
For the application covered here, the engine identification is D in the 5th VIN position.
5. Confirm the Engine Code
The correct engine family is 2AZ-FE.
If any of these details don’t match, it’s better to have the application checked rather than assuming another 2.4L Toyota engine will be a direct replacement.
Used Engine for Sale for the 2008 RAV4
Searching for a used engine for sale can bring up several different RAV4 engine configurations.
For example, current parts databases distinguish the 2008 RAV4 2.4L VIN-D 2AZ-FE from the 3.5L VIN-K 2GR-FE.
That’s why the most useful information to provide when requesting a replacement is:
- Vehicle year
- Make
- Model
- Engine size
- VIN
- Engine code, if available
- Drive configuration
- Any relevant vehicle modifications
Automart Auto Parts can use these details to help identify the appropriate application and check available options.
