Default M90 maintenance on 2010 GT

What kind of maintenance is required? This is my first FI vehicle so I have no idea what I should be doing to keep this running its best.

Shouldn't be any for a while, I believe the oil for the supercharger needs replaced every 25k miles and you may want to keep a spare belt but that's about it.

The M90 I believe is the same maintenance and my MP90 - change the oil at 100,000 miles. I did mine last winter, took the nose apart to check the coupler and it was still like new after that many miles.

Yes, the M90 oil only needs to be changed at 100,000 miles. You're good until then.

808muscle -- who puts 100,000 on their car with a supercharger?

You're looking at one right now in this post.

191,300 on the car right now, and the Xcharger didn't go on until I had 90,000 on it.

When I got it the Xcharger had 20,000 on it already so it has >100,000 on it. When I changed the oil in it the oil was black but it was still functioning. I also took the snout of to inspect it and the coupler was still like new.

Jim I know, I was kinda speaking to the masses. Most guys with FI are not big commuters and generally dont drive their car as much as NA guys. Your car is a great example as to how well built our motors are. Any car that can withstand FI for that many miles is a well built machine.
