Since that was posted 7/22/2008 I would imagine anything he had "percolating" is not good anymore. He's barely on here anymore as it is, I doubt if he is still trying to come up with a new fluid.

Recommended is the GM supercharger fluid, if you need cheaper buy it from Intense-racing.com or some other vendor online and order it, or do like what was said by Bill & Myself and there is a bulletin (highly debated by some) that says you can use Mobil1 5x30 oil in place, you just have to change it every 10k(ish) instead of the 30k/50k/100k/1yr people normally do.

Yes you did.

the bulletin is old, technically says for the M62 superchargers, but the oil is for the gears, coupler, and bearins in the snout... same as the M90s. Same fluid used for both as well. So I called tech support for GM personally and asked if it stands for the M90s and they said it can be but you would have to replace it alot sooner.

As I said, we've had debates over it, some go by it, some call it blasphemy. Its up to you, keep it maintained and you shouldn't have any problems.
