How often do you check the oil level in your SC ?
Had my SC seize a couple of weeks ago. No oil ! How often are you checking the oil level on your MP62 ?
The MP62 rebuilter is recommending checking it everytime engine oil is changed.
If you haven't check the SC oil level in a while it might be a good idea to check it.

Checking the oil means pulling the blower, pulling the plug and measuring what comes out. They don't have a dip stick. If you're going to do that, might as well replace it with, you guessed it... A measured amount of oil.
Mileage/time? I think OE's using similar eaton products recomend 100k as stated above. If there are no leaks and street driven, that's probably fine. However I have seen leaks, and not alway external. With hard/track use, I'd recomend much more frequent changes (checks). 25k? If strictly track, at least once a season.
By the way, never store a blower on end. It will leak. Always store it horizontal. And fill with the approved GM oil. The theory is that it becomes misty/airborne with the rotation of the blower. This allows it it reach the parts that are not submerged. Oils not designed to do this won't. Premature failure is likely.
