I opened up the SC oil plug prepared to do a change and the dribble of fluid that came out was very clean, so I closed it back up. This car has 55K miles on it. The fluid in the SC doesn't lube much or get very hot. It doesn't need changing if its clean. The rotor bearings that turn so fast in the rear are not accessible and the oil cannot be changed without disassembly, so they are the weak link anyway.

I changed mine at about 65k and it was some nasty stuff. The plug is a little hard to get to when on the car, but not impossible.
The most difficult part is sucking it out, which will require a pretty small straw. I used a grease extractor with a rigged up adapter (taped) to a very small piece of vacuum line.
33k likely doesn't need serviced, but like all fluids, it's good to check them from time to time.
