OEX Starter Motor 12V 10 Tooth CCW Denso Style DXS554

The OEX DXS554 is a new 12V starter motor with a 10-tooth pinion and CCW rotation, built in a Denso style for applications that match the listed mounting and dimensional details. It is a pad-mount unit with 68mm mount centres, a 63mm flange diameter, and an overall length of 206mm.

This starter motor carries a .8kW power rating, a 30mm pinion diameter, and a 9mm pinion at rest. The unit weight is 3.66kg, and the mount hole diameter is 8.5mm, so the physical dimensions matter just as much as the electrical rating when checking replacement suitability.

OEX lists this part as sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with production from ISO certified factories. It is backed by a 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty, which is useful to note when comparing replacement options for Denso-based starter applications.

Application and Buying Notes

Check the part number DXS554 first, then compare the starter’s 12V rating, 10-tooth pinion, CCW rotation, and pad mount layout against the unit being replaced. The listed 68mm mount centres, 63mm flange diameter, 8.5mm mount hole diameter, and 206mm overall length are the critical measurements that determine whether the housing and mounting points line up correctly.

If you are replacing a Denso-style starter, the ‘suits unit make: Denso’ detail is important, but it is not a substitute for confirming the actual machine application. The same starter can appear against a range of equipment, including select AVANT, BANDIT, DINGO, HERCULES, JOHN DEERE, KOHLER, KUBOTA, TORO, and VERMEER applications, so matching the exact model and year remains essential.

The 30mm pinion diameter, 9mm pinion at rest, and .8kW power rating help confirm that the starter matches the original setup rather than just fitting the bolt pattern. For starter motors, a close visual match is not enough if the tooth count, rotation, or rest position differs from the removed unit.

When in doubt, compare the removed starter against the listed dimensions and the application references before ordering. The warranty term is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, so it is still worth checking the installation carefully to avoid unnecessary removal and refit work.

Because this is a new starter motor rather than a remanufactured unit, you should still confirm cable connection routing, mounting style, and available clearance around the 206mm body length. Small differences in flange size, mount centres, or pinion position can prevent a correct installation even when the machine model appears in the fitment list.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number DXS554 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Product Group 2 STARTER MOTORS, Part No. DXS554, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 10Th CCW Denso Style, Flange Diameter 63mm, Mount Hole Diameter 8.5, Overall Length 206mm, Pinion Diameter 30mm, Rotation CCW.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 10Th CCW Denso Style. Part number DXS554 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number DXS554, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility by matching the DXS554 part number, 12V rating, 10-tooth CCW Denso-style configuration, and the listed mounting dimensions against the original starter and the exact machine application before ordering.
