OEX Starter Motor 12V 10T CW Mitsubishi Style MXS340

The OEX MXS340 is a new 12V starter motor with a clockwise rotation, 10 teeth on the pinion, and a 1.4kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style unit and suits a Mitsubishi application, so the key checks are the part number, the 10-tooth drive, and the pad mount layout before ordering.

This starter motor uses a pad starter mount, with 73mm mount centres, a 58mm flange diameter, and a 216mm overall length. The pinion sits at rest at 10mm, the pinion diameter is 28mm, and the mount hole diameter is 10mm, which are all useful checks when comparing it to the original unit.

OEX notes the solenoid has a standard blade terminal for the start terminal, and a moulded plug requires MXS2058. That detail matters when matching the vehicle loom or plug style, because the electrical connection must suit the existing starter wiring as well as the mechanical fit.

Application and Buying Notes

Use the part number MXS340 first, then confirm the 12V rating, 10-tooth pinion, clockwise rotation, and pad mount style against the removed starter. Those details are the quickest way to avoid a mismatch, especially where the original unit has been replaced before or the vehicle has been modified.

The solenoid connection needs attention as well. This unit is supplied with a standard blade terminal for the start terminal, and OEX specifies MXS2058 for a moulded plug arrangement. If the existing vehicle connection is not a blade terminal, the wiring style must be checked before the starter is fitted.

Mechanical measurements are just as important as the electrical details. The 73mm mount centres, 58mm flange diameter, 10mm mount hole diameter, 216mm overall length, and 28mm pinion diameter should all be compared with the original starter to make sure the housing and nose profile align correctly.

The listed warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. Keep proof of purchase and confirm the application is suitable for the intended vehicle category, because commercial duty and passenger use are covered differently.

OEX also identifies this as a Mitsubishi style starter motor, which is a useful guide but not a substitute for checking the actual fitment details. The safest purchase is the one that matches the vehicle application, part number, tooth count, rotation, mount type, and connector style together.

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 MXS340 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 10Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS340 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 MXS340, 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching MXS340 with the vehicle application, 12V CW setup, 10-tooth pinion, pad mount style, and solenoid terminal arrangement before purchase. If the original unit uses a moulded plug, MXS2058 is noted as the required option.
