OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CW Denso Style DXS517

The OEX starter motor DXS517 is a new 12V unit with a 9 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation and a 1.4kW power rating. It is listed as a Denso style starter and suits Denso unit make applications, with a pad mount type and 82mm mount centres.

Key dimensions for checking against the original unit are an overall length of 187mm, pinion diameter of 29mm, mount hole diameter of 10mm and pinion at rest of 3mm. The unit weighs 4kg and is supplied as a new starter motor, not remanufactured.

OEX identifies this part as part no. DXS517 and notes that overall length should be compared with the original unit to confirm suitability. That makes the measured dimensions particularly important when replacing a starter in a vehicle where the physical fit must match the existing setup.

Warranty coverage for new OEX starter motors is 3 years for passenger applications and 1 year for commercial applications. This helps provide a clear purchase reference, but the correct installation still depends on matching the starter type, rotation, voltage, tooth count and dimensions to the vehicle and original unit.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number DXS517, the 12V electrical setup, the 9 tooth pinion and the clockwise rotation with the starter currently fitted to the vehicle. These are the quickest checks for confirming whether this Denso style replacement is the right match.

The physical measurements matter as much as the electrical details. Check the 187mm overall length, 29mm pinion diameter, 10mm mount hole diameter and 82mm mount centres A against the original starter, because OEX specifically notes that overall length should be compared with the original unit to confirm suitability.

This is a pad mount starter motor and it is listed for Denso unit make applications. If the original starter uses a different mount style, tooth count, rotation or pinion position, it should be treated as a different application even where the vehicle family looks similar.

The warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use on new units. That warranty does not replace fitment checking, so it is still important to confirm the starter matches the existing unit before installation.

Because starter fitment can vary within the same vehicle range, use the vehicle application details, part number and dimensions together rather than relying on one identifier alone. Matching the original starter is the safest way to avoid unnecessary returns or installation delays.

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 DXS517 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 9Th CW Denso Style. Part number DXS517 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 DXS517, 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 HOLDEN RODEO, HOLDEN RODEO 1998, HOLDEN RODEO 1999, HOLDEN RODEO 2000, ISUZU MU, ISUZU MU 1998. 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 DXS517, the 12V 9 tooth CW specification, the Denso style/pad mount details and the stated dimensions against the original starter before purchasing.
