Just Bought a 2015 Malibu Wakesetter 247LSV - Excited

Hey there.    Been an owner of a 2006 Centurion Avalanche for 10 years and sad to see her go but upgraded to a new for me 247.

I have been searching the forums but havent been able to find oil change/winterization for the 409SS motor.   If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Is the 409SS a GM or a Ford product.   Seems like from what I can read they were making the transition about this time.

Any other suggestions or thoughts on the above model would be much appreciated as well.

Welcome to the lunacy!  I picked up a nice '08 247 and have been spending like a mad man cleaning, fixing, upgrading, etc!

Here is how to winterize it:  https://cdn.bakesonline.com/media/resourcelibrary/IndmarLY6Winterization.pdf

The only Ford motors in Malibu's were from '16 - '18 plus a few 2020 boats due to the GM strike.  Everything else is GM based (all Axis is GM based).  The Ford stuff with have Raptor marketing all over it.
