OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CCW Denso Style DXS547

The OEX DXS547 is a 12V starter motor in Denso style, set up with 9 teeth and counter clockwise (CCW) rotation. It is a new unit with a 1.4kW power rating, 2 hole starter mount type, and a 120mm mount centre measurement, so the physical mounting details need to match the vehicle application before purchase.

Key dimensions include an 82mm flange diameter, 11mm mount hole diameter, 186mm overall length, 29mm pinion diameter, and 32mm pinion at rest. The unit weighs 4.26kg and is listed for dry clutch applications. These measurements are useful when comparing against the original starter or confirming what is already fitted to the vehicle.

This starter is identified as Part No. DXS547 and is described as suitable for Denso unit make applications. The note supplied with the product states that automatic transmission 8 and 9 tooth units are interchangeable, which is important when checking the tooth count on the existing starter and confirming the application details carefully.

OEX states that its products are sourced from market leading original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, with supply from ISO certified factories. The warranty listed is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, which gives a clear reference point for the intended use case and purchase expectation.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the part number DXS547, the 12V electrical setup, and the 9 tooth CCW configuration against the starter already fitted to the vehicle. The important checks here are the tooth count, rotation direction, and the mounting dimensions, especially the 120mm mount centres, 82mm flange diameter, and 2 hole starter mount type.

The pinion measurements matter as well. This unit has a 29mm pinion diameter and 32mm pinion at rest, so it should be compared with the removed starter rather than guessed from vehicle family alone. Even where a vehicle is listed in the fitment data, starter motors can vary by transmission type, engine configuration, and previous replacement history.

The product note states that automatic transmission 8 and 9 tooth units are interchangeable. That is useful guidance, but it still does not replace a direct comparison of the mounting points, overall length of 186mm, and the original unit’s specifications. A careful match at the bench is the safest way to avoid a return.

For buyers managing a repair schedule, the 1.4kW rating, new construction, and dry clutch listing help define what kind of replacement this is. It is intended as a direct starter motor replacement where the application matches the published details, rather than a universal fit part.

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 DXS547 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 CCW Denso Style. Part number DXS547 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 DXS547, 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 NISSAN 180SX, NISSAN 180SX 1988, NISSAN 180SX 1989, NISSAN 180SX 1990, SUBARU FORESTER, SUBARU FORESTER 1997. 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: Always confirm compatibility by checking Part No. DXS547, the 12V 9 tooth CCW Denso style configuration, and the mounting and pinion measurements against the original unit before purchase.
