The Caterpillar 3608 is a large-bore, medium-speed industrial diesel engine developed as part of the company’s 3600 engine family. Introduced during the 1980s, the 3608 was designed for continuous heavy-duty service in marine propulsion, oil and gas operations, and large stationary power plants. The engine features a bore of 280 mm and a stroke of 300 mm. The 3608 was most commonly used in large marine vessels, offshore platforms, pipeline compressor stations, and high-capacity generator sets. The 3608 engine would evolve into a gas variant as well with the introduction of the G3608 engine. Production of the diesel 3608 continued for decades in specialized industrial markets before gradually declining in the 2010s as newer electronically controlled and emissions-compliant engines replaced many of its roles. 

Despite this, many 3608 engines remain in service today thanks to their extremely heavy-duty construction and the strong global support network for parts and rebuilds.
