OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CW Hitachi Style HXS023

The OEX HXS023 starter motor is a 12V unit with clockwise rotation, 9 teeth, and a 2.3kW power rating. It is listed as a new starter motor with a 2 hole starter mount and a 95mm flange diameter, so it is important to compare the mounting layout and electrical requirements before ordering.

This starter motor is described as Hitachi style and suited to Hitachi unit make applications. Key dimensions include 212mm overall length, 120mm mount centres, 13mm mount hole diameter, 32mm pinion diameter, and 10mm pinion at rest. Those measurements are useful when matching against the removed unit or OE references.

OEX backs this product with a 3 year passenger warranty and 1 year commercial warranty. The brand notes also state that OEX products are sourced from ISO certified factories and from market leading Original Equipment Manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, which gives context on the product’s sourcing and quality control approach.

Application and Buying Notes

Use the part number HXS023 first when checking suitability, then compare the mounting and dimensions to the original starter. The critical identifiers here are 12V, 9 teeth, CW rotation, 2 hole mount, 120mm mount centres, and a 95mm flange diameter. If any of those differ from the unit being replaced, the part may not be suitable.

The note against this part is important: HXS023 is not interchangeable with HXS053 because HXS053 has a flat section on the flange mount. That means the shape of the flange matters, not just the electrical rating or tooth count. Confirm by OE number before ordering, especially if the vehicle previously had a different Hitachi-style starter fitted.

The listed 2.3kW rating and 32mm pinion diameter help narrow the match, but they do not replace a proper vehicle or OE check. The starter is listed as new and suitable for dry clutch applications, so it should be assessed alongside the original unit’s configuration, not only the vehicle make or model name.

Warranty cover is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. If the vehicle is used in commercial service, that shorter warranty period is a practical detail to keep in mind when comparing options.

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 HXS023 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 Hitachi Style. Part number HXS023 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 HXS023, 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 COLORADO, HOLDEN COLORADO 2008, HOLDEN COLORADO 2009, HOLDEN COLORADO 2010, ISUZU D-MAX, ISUZU D-MAX 2007. 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: Please confirm compatibility using the OE number, part number HXS023, and the full mounting details before ordering. Do not rely on vehicle name alone, as the flange shape, mount type, tooth count, rotation, and dimensions must all match.
