Lean Burn Engine Technology
S•O•SSM program matches your oil and coolant samples
Lean-burn engines operate with large amounts of excess
against Caterpillar set standards to determine:
air. The excess air absorbs heat during combustion
- Internal engine component condition
reducing the combustion temperature and pressure,
- Presence of unwanted fluids
greatly reducing levels of NOx. Lean-burn design also
- Presence of combustion by-products
provides longer component life and excellent fuel
- Site-specific oil change interval

Over 80 Years of Engine Manufacturing Experience
Ease of Operation
Over 60 years of natural gas engine production
Side covers on block allow for inspection of internal
components Ownership of these manufacturing processes enables
Caterpillar to produce high quality, dependable products.
Full Range of Attachments
- Cast engine blocks, heads, cylinder liners, and flywheel
Large variety of factory-installed engine attachments housings
