OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CCW Denso Style DXS4038

The OEX DXS4038 starter motor is a new 12V unit with 9 teeth and CCW rotation, made in a Denso style configuration for applications that call for that mounting and drive arrangement. It is a 1kW starter motor with a 2-hole starter mount type, 120mm mount centres A, and an 81mm nose cone length.

Key physical dimensions to check before ordering include an overall length of 231mm, a flange diameter of 65mm, a mount hole diameter of 11mm, a pinion diameter of 29mm, and a pinion at rest measurement of 49mm. These measurements matter when comparing against the original starter fitted to the vehicle.

This starter is listed for manual transmission only and is noted as a dry clutch application. The unit suits Denso make applications, and the part number is DXS4038. For correct selection, the part number and the starter body dimensions should be matched to the removed unit or the vehicle application details.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the DXS4038 part number, the 12V rating, the 9 tooth pinion, and the CCW rotation against the starter currently fitted to the vehicle. The 2-hole mount type, 120mm mount centres A, 65mm flange diameter, and 81mm nose cone length are all important checks because starter housings and mounting patterns need to line up correctly.

This unit is listed as manual transmission only and dry clutch only, so it should not be selected on the strength of general appearance alone. If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, or if the existing starter uses a different rotation, tooth count, or mount pattern, it may not be the correct part.

The Denso style designation and the note that it suits Denso unit make are useful compatibility checkpoints, but they do not replace a direct part number match or a physical comparison. Checking the removed starter for the same overall length of 231mm, pinion diameter of 29mm, and pinion at rest of 49mm will help reduce the risk of ordering the wrong unit.

OEX states this starter is sourced from market leading OEM and aftermarket suppliers and manufactured in ISO certified factories, with a comprehensive nationwide warranty. The warranty listed for this part is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, so it is worth confirming how the vehicle will be used 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 DXS4038 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 DXS4038, 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 SUBARU LIBERTY, SUBARU LIBERTY 2004, SUBARU LIBERTY 2005, SUBARU LIBERTY 2006. 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 number DXS4038, the 12V 9 tooth CCW Denso style configuration, and the listed mounting and dimensional checks against the vehicle and the removed starter before ordering.
