OEX Starter Motor 12V 8TH CW Mitsubishi Style MXS201

The OEX starter motor MXS201 is a new 12V unit with 8 teeth, clockwise rotation, and a .9kW power rating. It is listed as Mitsubishi style and suits Mitsubishi applications, so correct identification of the vehicle and the existing starter specification is important before ordering.

Key physical measurements include a 105mm mount centres A measurement, 77mm flange diameter, 55mm nose cone length, and 190mm overall length. The starter uses a 2-hole mount with M10x1.25 mount hole diameter, and the pinion measures 28mm in diameter with 17mm pinion at rest.

This starter motor weighs 3.96kg and is supplied as a new rotating electrical component. OEX lists the warranty as 3yr Passenger and 1yr Commercial, which gives a useful reference when comparing it with the original starter on the vehicle.

The product is described as an OEX starter motor 12V 8Th CW Mitsubishi Style, with Part No. MXS201. If you are replacing an existing starter, matching the part number, tooth count, rotation, voltage, and mounting dimensions is the safest way to avoid fitment issues.

Application and Buying Notes

When comparing this starter to the unit already on the vehicle, check the Part No. MXS201, the 12V rating, clockwise rotation, and 8-tooth pinion first. Those details are the quickest way to reduce the chance of selecting the wrong starter motor, especially when the vehicle has had a previous replacement or the starter has been cross-referenced before.

The mounting dimensions matter just as much as the electrical details. This unit has a 2-hole mount, 105mm mount centres A, M10x1.25 mount hole diameter, 77mm flange diameter, and 55mm nose cone length, so the physical layout must match the vehicle and the transmission bellhousing arrangement already in place.

The listed .9kW power rating and 3.96kg weight are useful comparison points, but they should be treated as part of the overall match rather than the only deciding factors. A starter motor can look similar externally and still differ in pinion size, flange diameter, or pinion rest position.

Because the fitment data references multiple makes and models, it is best to verify the specific application by part number and by the starter currently fitted to the vehicle. This is particularly important where Mitsubishi style units are used across different applications or where previous repairs may have changed the original component.

If your vehicle is Mitsubishi-based, confirm the model, build details, and the existing starter’s tooth count before purchase. The product is listed as new and intended for dry clutch applications, but the final check should always be the physical unit on the vehicle against the measurements provided here.

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 MXS201 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.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Weight 3.96kg, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. MXS201, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW Mitsubishi Style, Flange Diameter 77mm, Mount Hole Diameter M10x1.25, Number of Teeth 8, Pinion at Rest 17mm, Power Rating .9kW.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 8Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS201 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 MXS201, 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 using Part No. MXS201, the 12V CW 8-tooth specification, and the listed mounting dimensions before ordering. Do not rely on appearance alone, as starter motor variations can differ in flange size, nose length, pinion diameter, and mount centres.
