For over 25 years, Australian auto electricians and mechanics have been supported with quality aftermarket products by OEX. Over this time, OEX have earned a reputation for its continuous improvement through quality, range, pricing, innovation and service for the ever-evolving car parc.

OEX’s strides in innovation are also a key contributor to its 25-year success. Its mission is to challenge the norm, enhance durability, improve performance, and release new, pioneering products to the market. Now celebrating the addition of over 50 new part numbers in its alternator and starter motor range, OEX continues to be Australia and New Zealand’s brand of choice for automotive specialists.

GPC Asia Pacific’s Rotating Electrical Merchandise Manager Andrew Little said when products are released to the market, OEX looks at major OE products to identify improvements so customers can plug and play. This has resulted in reduced warranties and less wasted time for OEX customers.

This is evident in OEX’s most recent work with solving a common problem on identifying the correct regulator function for 2003-12 Camry and RAV4’s with similar 2AZ-FE 4 cylinder 2.4L engines. OEX range DXA582 and DXA583 Alternators cover these applications, but as both units have the same regulator with a single terminal function difference, it is difficult to diagnose whether and S or RLO regulator is required.

The OEX team have solved this problem with a simple tester (ACX6250). The ACX6250 simply plugs into the harness and after you turn on ignition (without starting the vehicle), the tester will show which regulator function you require. If S, use DXA582. If RLO, use DXA583.

It’s not just these two applications though, the ACX6250 unit will work on

Lexus, Hiace, Kluger and others with similar issues. When you have a similar S and RLO terminal function on the same application, this tester can diagnose quickly, remove frustration and wasted time.

OEX’s full range of trusted electrical products are available through NAPA Auto Parts and Repco nationally.
