They're not permanently sealed. But to keep your supercharger properly within the Toyota/TRD drivetrain warranty you can't break the seal to even check the supercharger oil level until after it's out of warranty at 60K miles. By that time it's about 30K overdue for the oil being at least checked.

And anthraciterunner had a clarification that the proper tool to use is a T-27 Torx bit in this post:

Um, do the T-27 and T-30 both fit due to their taper?
