hopefully the OP got enough info so his fish not end up looking like this.
To be fair I kind of got lost among it all about 10 posts back, where it started talking about giant humans and stuff or whatever; basically if I'd have to do 90% water changes on a 90 gallon weekly, i'll probably just give it a bye.

Probably for the best then, water quality management for an adult oscar in a 90 gallon tank is definitely going to require large weekly water changes. I think that we can all agree on that. If a larger tank isn't in the works down the road you would probably be better off with a species that won't reach such a large size, and lucky for you there's plenty of other great species of fish to choose from. Good luck!

If I can sort out the python water changer I'd do it, buckets would kill me haha

Better still, some sort of continuous drip or semi-automated system would be ideal. A friends father is an electrical engineer so they rigged up a system for his 1700L tank that does a 200L water change with the push of a button...
