Genuine CAT vs Aftermarket
Caterpillar offers multiple part lines:
For filters and wear parts, quality aftermarket from Donaldson (who actually manufactures many CAT-branded filters) offers identical performance at 40–50% savings.
For engine and hydraulic components, we recommend OEM or CAT Reman for machines still under warranty, and premium aftermarket for older machines.
Part Number System
CAT uses a systematic part numbering system:
Pro tip: The part number is usually stamped on the old part itself. Take a photo before removing it.
