The OEX MXS2068 starter motor is a new 12V unit with 18 teeth, clockwise rotation and a 1.8kW power rating. It is listed as Mitsubishi style, with a Part No. of MXS2068 and OEM Number M1T98081-PO, so those identifiers should be checked carefully against the unit being replaced.

Physical dimensions matter on starters, and this unit includes Mount Centres A 154mm, B 100mm, C 34mm and D 103mm, plus a 58mm nose cone length and 235mm overall length. The pinion diameter is 52mm, the pinion at rest is 64mm, and the starter uses a 4 hole mount with 6 / 9 mount hole diameter.

This starter motor is sold as a new component for dry clutch applications and weighs 4.3kg. OEX states the brand is sourced from original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with products produced in ISO certified factories and backed by a nationwide warranty.

The warranty listed is 3yr Passenger and 1yr Commercial. If you are replacing a Mitsubishi style starter, the safest approach is to compare the part number, OEM number, rotation, tooth count and mounting measurements before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Start by matching the Part No. MXS2068 and OEM Number M1T98081-PO to the starter you are removing. The closest physical checks are the 12V rating, 18 tooth count, clockwise rotation, 4 hole mount and the listed mounting measurements of 154mm, 100mm, 34mm and 103mm between centres.

The listed starter is Mitsubishi style and suits Mitsubishi as a unit make, but no specific vehicle model or engine application should be assumed from that alone. If the replacement starter differs in mount hole diameter, nose cone length of 58mm, overall length of 235mm or pinion size of 52mm, it should not be treated as a direct match without verification.

The 1.8kW power rating, 18 teeth and CW rotation are practical checkpoints, but they do not replace a full fitment check. Confirm the starter’s mounting pattern, pinion position at rest, and physical clearances in the vehicle before purchase.

Warranty coverage is listed as 3yr Passenger and 1yr Commercial. As with any starter motor, the best buying decision comes from matching the exact part number, the OEM reference and the measured dimensions rather than relying on appearance alone.

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 MXS2068 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.

For part number MXS2068, 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 MAZDA RX-8, MAZDA RX-8 2003, MAZDA RX-8 2004, MAZDA RX-8 2005. 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching Part No. MXS2068, OEM Number M1T98081-PO, 12V, 18 tooth CW specification and the listed mounting dimensions against the original unit before ordering.
