My buddy's wife has an '03 SVE with just over 100k and the lobes are started clattering enough to make the knock sensor retard the timing. She is in the market for a new or rebuilt unit.

The "life" of a vehicle in the eyes of a manufacturer is not forever. It is until the end of the warranty. 100k or so is pretty typical of a roots-type supercharger. That being said I would change the oil. Lord knows the mechanical stresses and heat being generated, it really should get a change once in a while.
