We determine the critical equation of state of three-dimensional randomly dilute Ising systems--- i.e., of the random-exchange Ising universality class. We first consider the small-magnetization expansion of the Helmholtz free energy in the high-temperature phase. Then, we apply a systematic approximation scheme of the equation of state in the whole critical regime, which is based on polynomial parametric representations matching the small-magnetization expansion of the Helmholtz free energy and satisfying a global stationarity condition. These results allow us to estimate several universal amplitude ratios, such as the ratio ${A}^{+}{/A}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ of the specific-heat amplitudes. Our best estimate ${A}^{+}{/A}^{\ensuremath{-}}=1.6(3)$ is in good agreement with experimental results on dilute uniaxial antiferromagnets.
