OEX Starter Motor 12V 13 Tooth CCW Mitsubishi Style MXS2048

The OEX Starter Motor MXS2048 is a 12V starter motor with 13 teeth, counter-clockwise rotation, and a Mitsubishi style application. It is a new unit, not remanufactured, and is listed with a 2kW power rating, a 67mm flange diameter, and a 246mm overall length.

This starter motor suits Mitsubishi applications and uses a 2 hole starter mount type with 148mm mount centres, 12mm mount hole diameter, and a 42mm pinion diameter. The pinion at rest is 40mm, which is a useful check when comparing against the original starter before ordering.

OEX states its products are sourced from market leading Original Equipment Manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with production from ISO certified factories. The unit is backed by a 3 year warranty for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, which gives buyers a clear reference point when choosing a replacement starter motor.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MXS2048 and the physical measurements against the starter you are replacing. The key checks here are 12V, 13 teeth, CCW rotation, 2 hole mounting, 148mm mount centres, 67mm flange diameter, and 246mm overall length. Matching those details matters because a starter can look similar yet still differ in rotation, nose length, pinion position, or mounting layout.

This unit is listed for Mitsubishi applications, but the available information does not confirm every vehicle model or engine combination. Use the existing starter as the reference point and confirm the mounting face, hole spacing, pinion diameter, and pinion at rest measurement before fitting. That is the safest way to avoid ordering the wrong part.

The warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. If the starter is going onto a commercial vehicle, make sure the purchase aligns with the intended duty cycle. For any replacement electrical part, it is also sensible to inspect the battery condition, earth straps, cable terminals, and charging system before installation so the new starter is not being asked to compensate for another fault.

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 MXS2048 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.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 13Th CCW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS2048 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 MXS2048, 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.

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 compatibility using part number MXS2048, the Mitsubishi application detail, and the recorded measurements before purchase. Do not rely on appearance alone, and verify the original starter’s tooth count, rotation, mounting style, and dimensions against the unit listed here.
