2/21/2023 0 Comments Indmar engine serial numbers![]() ![]() I am happy that Indmar has offered new, proper dipsticks to show this change, although I am uncertain if it is a fix or a bandaid. My dipstick was remarked by the dealer to show this new level. This was three years ago when I first got my HH. The only thing they came up with was to add an extra quart of oil. I worked with Indmar and Malibu to figure out a cure. The oil pressure would drop to near 0 psi. I was fighting an oil pressure problem every time I came off plane. Thanks Larry, received mine today in the mail.ĭid they change something with the newer engines or was there a reason you can detail that all of a sudden they sent these out? I know folks in the past have noted that the 383 has the potential to use oil, ours did until we switched oil per dealer recommendation and now we only are down a little bit between changes. We want to ensure your satisfaction by offering this simple upgrade. Thank you for being a Malibu/Indmar customer. If you no longer own the boat and you know the name and address of the current owner, please supply us with that information so we may send a dipstick to the current owner. Please discard the old dipstick so it does not accidentally get put back into the engine. Please install this new dipstick and add a sufficient amount of oil to bring the level to the full mark. The important thing is to fill it to the full mark on the dipstick. Generally, with a filter change, your engine will hold between 5 and 6 quarts. We can’t tell you exactly how much oil your engine will hold because every engine/boat is a little different. By using this new dipstick and keeping the oil level at the full mark, there will be slightly more oil in the engine than there was before giving you an added safety margin to ensure the oil level does not drop dangerously low and damage your engine. Indmar is supplying you with a new oil dipstick for your engine. Because of the possibility of higher oil consumption, it is critical that you check the oil level regularly and keep your oil pan full of oil. This will not reduce the reliability or longevity of your engine it simply is a design characteristic. ![]() High performance engines may consume oil at a higher rate than a standard engine like the Malibu Monsoon. It has a special crankshaft, pistons, rings, camshaft and cylinder heads to enhance its performance. ![]() The 383 engine is a production “performance” engine that is built with performance components. ![]() This is a very special engine that we only build for Malibu. Our records indicate that you are the owner of a Malibu boat powered by an Indmar built Hammerhead 383 engine. ![]()
