Gain a Competitive Edge with Genuine
Cat® Parts

Purpose-Built Components Are a Click Away

Using the right part is crucial for protecting engine performance and reaping the full benefits that Cat® equipment can provide. This is especially true of key components, such as air filters and spark plugs, that are engineered to meet the exact standards and requirements of your engine.

How Can I Receive the Right Parts for My Engine On-Time?

Time is money in the oilfield and it’s essential for operators to have the correct parts on hand when they need them to avoid nonproductive time (NPT). Parts.cat.com fulfills this important need, offering immediate access to more than 1.4 million parts that provide guaranteed compatibility – including Cat Ultra High Efficiency (UHE) engine air filters and spark plugs.

What Are the Benefits of Using Authentic Cat Components?

Part quality and fabrication directly impact performance and equipment longevity. Genuine Cat parts specifically engineered to optimize engine performance deliver compelling advantages:

  • Readiness: Cat parts are engineered to perform as a system, which helps optimize performance. They’re built to exact tolerances and rigorously tested to ensure dependability and durability while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).
  • Accurate fit: Using genuine Cat parts ensures a proper fit for reliable operation. Shop by model or serial number on parts.cat.com to view compatible parts and streamline the ordering process.
  • Warranty: New, genuine Cat components are covered against defects in material and workmanship by a 12-month limited warranty1.
  • Convenience: Ordering through parts.cat.com provides the flexibility to shop available Cat dealer inventories regardless of site location. Free in-store pickup or convenient delivery options are available to minimize downtime.
  • Expert support: Connecting with highly trained experts across the global Cat dealer network is easy through parts.cat.com. Maintenance crews can access operation and maintenance manuals, order histories and order tracking in real-time.
  • Cost savings: Operators can further maximize cost savings by choosing Cat Reman components. Cat Reman only uses genuine Cat parts, and every component is disassembled, cleaned, inspected and updated with critical engineering improvements and remanufactured with advanced techniques to deliver like-new performance. Operators not only save with solutions offered at 45-85% of the cost of new when they return their used core but also receive a same-as-new 12-month limited warranty.

What’s the Difference Between OEM Parts and Third-Party parts?

When it comes to equipment parts, quality and performance can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer – and that can have a direct impact on operational efficiency. For example, every engine requires air filters and spark plugs – parts that must be replaced often depending on operating environments, pressures and temperatures. Choosing air filters and spark plugs that are optimized for an engine is critical to avoid NPT and help operators realize a lower TCO.

Cat UHE air filters, for example, are engineered to outperform conventional air filters and can help prolong piston ring life by 50%, as verified by independent lab testing2. Designed for extreme applications where dirt, dust and other contaminants are common, Cat UHE filters help prevent premature engine damage by protecting critical engine components from damaging debris. This contributes to a lower operating cost.

Similarly, Cat spark plugs are also designed to enhance efficiency and optimize runtime. They’re easy to remove and install, which minimizes downtime during maintenance intervals. These advantages reduce costs and support higher productivity.

As Cat engines are engineered to be rebuilt to optimize TCO, choosing genuine Cat parts – new or through Cat Reman – helps maximize your equipment investment. With parts.cat.com, it’s easier and faster than ever to access genuine, quality Cat parts
