Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the vehicle application and the compressor identifiers carefully. The confirmed fitment supplied here is Mitsubishi Challenger PA 3.0L from 03/1998 to 12/2006, but the safest check is to match part number CXM0009 and the OE numbers MR315442 or MR360532 against the original compressor fitted to the vehicle.

The mounting and connection details matter just as much as the model application. This unit is a direct mount compressor with a pad right hand fitting type, 97mm clutch diameter, and A pulley section, so those physical details need to line up with the existing system before installation is attempted.

Oil specification is another point to verify. This compressor is noted for PAG46 oil and an oil capacity of 150ml, so the system should be prepared with the correct lubricant type and amount as required for the air conditioning circuit.

Weight can also help with parts identification and handling. At 6.8kg, this compressor is a substantial component, and care should be taken when comparing it with the removed unit so the replacement matches the expected configuration and mounting style.

If you are working from a vehicle that has been previously repaired, modified, or fitted with a non-standard compressor, rely on the part numbers and mounting details rather than the vehicle alone. The MHI style designation, MSC105C series, and OE numbers are the best checkpoints provided for confirming the correct match.

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 CXM0009 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 CXM0009, 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.

Compatibility note: Please confirm compatibility by matching part number CXM0009, OE numbers MR315442 / MR360532, and the listed vehicle application before purchase. If the existing compressor differs in mount style, pulley section, clutch size, or oil specification, check carefully with a qualified parts interpreter or workshop.
