OEX Starter Motor 12V 8TH CW Mitsubishi Style MXS2097

The OEX MXS2097 starter motor is a new 12V unit with 8 teeth, clockwise rotation, and a 1.0kW power rating. It is described as Mitsubishi style and suits Mitsubishi applications, with a 2 hole starter mount, 70mm flange diameter, and 101mm mount centre-to-centre measurement.

Key physical checks on this starter include an overall length of 174mm, a 28mm pinion diameter, 28mm pinion at rest, and M10x1.25 / 11 mount hole diameter. Those measurements matter because starter housings and mounting points need to line up correctly before installation.

This starter motor is listed as a new unit, weighing 2.44kg, and is identified as part number MXS2097. OEX states its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with sourcing from ISO certified factories and a comprehensive nationwide warranty.

The product is supplied as a starter motor, unit of measure each, and sits in the rotating electrical group. For buyers comparing replacements, the combination of 12V, 8 teeth, CW rotation, and the listed mounting dimensions are the main checkpoints alongside the application details.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, check the part number MXS2097 against the unit being replaced and compare the mounting layout carefully. The key measurements here are a 2 hole starter mount, 101mm mount centre to centre, M10x1.25 / 11 mount hole diameter, 70mm flange diameter, and 174mm overall length.

The electrical and drive details should also match the original unit. This starter is 12V, clockwise rotation, 8 teeth, and 1.0kW, so those figures should be compared with the old starter or vehicle application records before purchase.

The pinion specification is another important check. The listed pinion diameter is 28mm, with pinion at rest also 28mm, which can be useful when confirming physical clearance and compatibility in the starter opening and bellhousing area.

Because the listing states Mitsubishi style and suits Mitsubishi applications, it is sensible to verify the exact vehicle application by part number, starter mounting pattern, and dimensions rather than relying on appearance alone. Starter motors can look similar while still differing in rotation, tooth count, or mounting pattern.

OEX lists this as a new starter motor, not remanufactured, with a 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty. As with any electrical component, correct diagnosis of the fault and confirmation of the replacement specifications are important before fitting.

Weight is listed at 2.44kg, which may help when comparing with a removed unit, but it should not be used on its own to confirm fitment. The safest approach is to match the part number MXS2097 and the dimensions supplied here against the vehicle application and the original starter.

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 MXS2097 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 MXS2097, 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: Confirm fitment by matching part number MXS2097, the 12V clockwise 8 tooth specification, and the listed mounting and dimension details to the original starter and vehicle application before purchase.
