2021 OWNER’S MANUAL | Care & Maintenance 147
Instructions for inspecting and cleaning the sea strainer (raw
water intake) are provided above, under Before the Outing .
The following information concerns the closed cooling system,
which should be checked at least annually, even if there have
been no instances of overheating during outings:
• The closed cooling operates on a 50/50 mix of marine-
grade coolant (such as
Sierra) and clean, distilled
water. (Some brands sell
coolant conveniently pre-
mixed. Be sure to read
the label carefully, and
do not add any water to
coolants that are pre-
mixed. This will dilute
them to unacceptable
levels of mixture.) When
mixing coolant and distilled
water, do so in a CLEAN container. Dirt, oil, or other
contaminants can cause damage to the cooling system,
which may not be covered under warranty.
• The coolant in the closed cooling system should be
changed every three years or 1200 hours, whichever
comes first, but a thorough inspection is required
annually.
Oil System
Replacing the oil filter and oil is an important part of the
annual maintenance. Due to environmental concerns, Malibu
recommends having an authorized Malibu dealer complete this
important function. For those who feel confident they can
complete this maintenance step with guidance, the following
steps must be followed.
Have eight quarts of 5W30 synthetic engine oil for the 5.3L
or 6.2L M-Series engines. The LT4 engine requires you to have
eight quarts of 0W40 full synthetic dexos™gen 2 oil. The use
of any other oil or fluid may void the warranty. Malibu boats
offers a full synthetic oil blended specifically for Malibu boats.
For more information about purchasing this oil for use in your
boat, contact your authorized Malibu dealer.
Whenever possible, run the boat for approximately five
(5) minutes on the water. This will heat up the oil to a better
viscosity for draining.
Draining the Oil:
1. Have a drain pan or container ready. Never pour used
oil on the ground or into the water. This is illegal in most
instances and has a negative environmental impact.
2. The oil drain line is located on the side of the engine oil
pan through a fitting, and it is approximately four (4) feet
long.
3. If a siphon pump is not available for use in this process,
run the drain hose through the transom drain plug
location (with the boat OUT OF THE WATER ; removing
the transom drain plug while in the water could result in
the boat taking on water and sinking.
4. Because the line will not feed through the drain plug
with the line cap on, raise the line above the oil pan.
This creates a P-Trap as the end of the drain hose is fed
through the transom
drain plug to allow the
gravitational flow of
used oil.
5. If a siphon pump is
available, remove the
drain line cap, create a
seal on the siphon hose
and start the pump.
6. About eight-to-nine
(8-9) quarts of used
oil should drain into
the catch container.
Typically, engines burn
a small amount of
oil during operation.
An authorized Malibu dealer technician can advise you
whether you should be concerned about the amount of
oil used between oil changes.
Replacing the Oil Filter
1. Oil filters are located on the front of the engine.
2. Remove the oil filter housing cap.
3. Use a tool designed for removal or installation of oil filters
only. Other tools may crush the filter and release used oil
into the engine compartment, the boat or the work area.
4. Remove the cap by turning counterclockwise and replace
by turning in the opposite direction. Never force the oil
filter housing cap. It should be on the engine securely,
but it should release with only hand force when using
tools.
5. Some small amount of residual used oil may be inside the
filter. Keep a shop rag or similar catch under the filter as
it is removed from the boat.
6. Some mechanics choose to inspect the oil filter to
examine for any evidence of metal shavings or other
unwanted signs of engine wear. If you choose to do so,
be sure to do so over a container. Clean up any oil that
ends up spilled.
7. Also examine the O-ring on the cap. If it is damaged, it
should be replaced.
8. Secure the oil filter housing cap in place on the engine.
Tighten securely by hand, but do not force the filter as it
may damage or break the seal if over-tightened.
Adding New Oil
1. Replace the drain line cap on the drain line and thread the
drain line back to adjacent to the oil pan.
2. Remove the oil fill cap on top of the valve cover.
3. Place a clean funnel within the oil fill cap.
4. Pour the approximately eight (8) quarts of oil in the
engine through the funnel, allowing time for the fill to
occur. (It is a good idea to have nine-to-nine-in-a-half
(9 to 9.5) quarts available as the system could hold this
much with all lines filled). As you approach the eighth
quart, slow down (it takes a little time for the oil to move
through the oil system) and start watching the fill line on
the dipstick. Always clean the dipstick between readings
to ensure accuracy.
