What is the life expectancy of a CAT C12 engine?
The life expectancy of a CAT C12 engine can vary depending on several factors, including maintenance practices, operating conditions, and application. However, with proper care and regular maintenance, a well-maintained CAT C12 engine can be expected to have a service life of around 1 million to 1.5 million miles in trucking applications or approximately 20,000 to 30,000 hours in industrial applications.
It’s important to note that these are general estimates, and individual engines may experience longer or shorter lifespans based on various factors. Regular maintenance, including oil and filter changes, inspections, and addressing any issues promptly, can greatly contribute to the longevity of the engine.
