OEX Starter Motor 12V 12 Tooth CW Mitsubishi Style MXS341U

The OEX Starter Motor MXS341U is a 12V, clockwise-rotation starter with 12 teeth and a 1.2kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style unit and is supplied new, not remanufactured, for applications that match the same mounting and pinion dimensions.

Key physical points for checking against your original unit include a 3-hole starter mount, 68mm flange diameter, 191mm overall length, 30mm pinion at rest, and 32mm pinion diameter. The listed mount centres are 98mm at A, 83mm at B, and 22mm at C, with 10mm mount hole diameter.

This starter is noted with an optional multi-fit start wire terminal, which may help where the terminal arrangement needs to suit the vehicle’s wiring setup. The unit weighs 3.62kg and is covered by a 3yr passenger / 1yr commercial warranty.

For buyers comparing replacement starters, the most important checks are the 12V system voltage, 12-tooth pinion count, clockwise rotation, and the MXS341U part number. Matching those details before fitting helps avoid confusion between visually similar Mitsubishi-style starters.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the MXS341U part number, 12V rating, 12 tooth pinion, and clockwise (CW) rotation with the starter removed from the vehicle. Those four details are a practical first check when replacing a Mitsubishi style starter motor, especially where the original unit has been swapped previously.

The mounting pattern is just as important as the electrical specification. This unit is listed with a 3-hole starter mount, 68mm flange diameter, 98mm / 83mm / 22mm mount centres, and 10mm mount holes, so the old starter should be checked against those measurements rather than relying on appearance alone.

Pinion and body dimensions should also be verified where clearance is tight. The starter is 191mm long, has a 30mm pinion at rest, a 32mm pinion diameter, and a 3.62kg weight, all of which can matter when comparing units that look similar but are not the same fit.

This is a new starter motor with a 1.2kW rating and a dry clutch listing, so it is best matched by specification rather than by general Mitsubishi styling alone. Where the vehicle history is unclear, the safest approach is to compare the removed starter, the part number, and the listed dimensions in full.

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 MXS341U 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 12Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS341U 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 MXS341U, 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 CADILLAC CTS, CADILLAC CTS 2008, CADILLAC CTS 2009, CADILLAC CTS 2010, HOLDEN ADVENTRA, HOLDEN ADVENTRA 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 using the MXS341U part number, 12V CW specification, 12-tooth pinion count, and the listed mounting dimensions before purchase or installation. Mitsubishi style starters can look similar while differing in mount centres, pinion size, or terminal arrangement.
