Caterpillar C15, C13, and C9 Engine Gaskets
Matto Gasket – Specialist in Caterpillar C15, C13, and C9 Engine Gaskets
When it comes to heavy-duty diesel engines, Caterpillar C15, C13, and C9 remain among the most widely used across trucks, construction machinery, mining, and industrial power units. These engines are the backbone of global fleets — and they demand gasket solutions that deliver long-term sealing, durability, and reliability under extreme conditions.
At Matto Gasket, we have made these three engine families our priority focus, while also covering the full Caterpillar range from compact excavators to 3500- and 3600-series mining engines.
