OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CW Mitsubishi Style MXS815
The OEX starter motor MXS815 is a new 12V unit with clockwise rotation, a 9 tooth pinion, and a 1.2kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style starter motor with a 2 hole mount and a 75mm flange diameter, so the key buying checks are voltage, rotation, mounting pattern, and pinion specification.
This unit has a 140mm mount centre measurement, 11mm mount hole diameter, 215mm overall length, 29mm pinion diameter, and 33mm pinion at rest. Those dimensions matter when matching a replacement starter, especially where clearance and mounting position need to line up with the original unit.
OEX lists this starter motor under rotating electrical products and supplies it new, not remanufactured. The unit weight is 3.62kg and it is sold each. The warranty is listed as 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial, which is useful context for buyers comparing replacement options for service life and application type.

Application and Buying Notes
Before ordering, confirm the replacement starter matches the existing unit’s part number, mounting layout, and electrical specification. This OEX starter motor is a 12V clockwise unit with a 9 tooth pinion, 2 hole mount, and 140mm mount centres, so a close visual match is not enough on its own.
The listed Mitsubishi style application and the part number MXS815 are the strongest identifiers here. If your original starter has a different tooth count, rotation, flange size, or mounting pattern, it should not be assumed interchangeable just because it looks similar.
Pinion dimensions can affect how the starter engages with the ring gear. This unit has a 29mm pinion diameter and 33mm pinion at rest, so any replacement should be checked carefully against the removed starter rather than relying on general vehicle family information.
The 1.2kW rating gives a useful guide to the starter’s capacity, but the most important checks remain the physical fitment details and the vehicle application. For electrical parts like this, matching the mounting face, hole diameter, overall length, and rotation is just as important as matching the voltage.
Because this is listed as a new starter motor, it is suitable for buyers who want a replacement unit rather than a remanufactured part. The stated 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty provide a useful reference point, but the vehicle’s exact application still needs to be confirmed before purchase.
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 MXS815 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 Weight 3.62kg, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. MXS815, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW Mitsubishi Style, Flange Diameter 75mm, Mount Hole Diameter 11, Overall Length 215mm, Pinion Diameter 29mm, Rotation CW.
OEX Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS815 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 MXS815, 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.
Available application references include HONDA CIVIC, HONDA CIVIC 1996, HONDA CIVIC 1997, HONDA CIVIC 1998. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.
The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.
Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching the part number MXS815, 12V CW specification, 9 tooth pinion, 2 hole mount, and the listed dimensions against the original starter and vehicle application before ordering.
