OEX Starter Motor 12V 13T CCW Denso Style DXS597

The OEX Starter Motor DXS597 is a 12V starter motor in Denso style with 13 teeth and counter clockwise rotation. It is listed as a new unit with a 1.4kW power rating, 2 hole starter mount type, and 122mm mount centres A, so it is important to compare the physical dimensions as well as the electrical specification before ordering.

Key dimensions include an overall length of 220mm, flange diameter of 55mm, mount hole diameter of 11mm, pinion diameter of 41mm, and pinion at rest of 66mm. These measurements matter when matching the starter to the vehicle or machine application, particularly where housing clearance and mounting pattern are critical.

This OEX unit is backed by a 3 year passenger and 1 year commercial warranty. OEX products are sourced from original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers, and are made in ISO certified factories, which gives added confidence in the quality of a replacement starter when the part number and application details are confirmed correctly.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the part number DXS597, the 12V rating, 13 tooth pinion, CCW rotation, and the 2 hole mounting arrangement. These are the main identifiers for this starter and they need to line up with the vehicle or machine being repaired, especially where the original unit is Denso style.

The physical measurements are just as important as the electrical details. Check the 122mm mount centres A, 220mm overall length, 55mm flange diameter, 11mm mount hole diameter, 41mm pinion diameter, and 66mm pinion at rest against the removed unit to avoid a mismatch at installation.

This starter is listed for a dry clutch application, so that detail should also be checked against the vehicle or equipment setup. If you are comparing against an original starter, matching the part number, rotation, tooth count, and mounting dimensions is the safest way to narrow the choice before purchase.

The warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, but warranty cover does not replace the need to confirm fitment first. A starter motor can look similar to another unit while differing in rotation, tooth count, mount centres, or pinion dimensions, so take the time to compare the original part carefully.

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 DXS597 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 13Th CCW Denso Style. Part number DXS597 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 DXS597, 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.
