Remember they are older documents but I called and verified thru GM that they still stand by these documents as replacements for the fluid. You just need to replace the fluid more often, as you would expect with motor oil.

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.
