I agree with what you say. But, the only thing that has me is the fact that if you drive the car hard on weekends which many of us do. Or even take to a track event once in awhile. That creates more wear on the DCT clutches which will introduce more shavings into the oil so it should in theory accelerate the wear of the DCT fluid. If I only drove it like a granny then yea sure. Thats the only part that has me on the fence. Im at 45k and about to take my car in to warranty the seat emblems and wondering if I should have them do DCT fluid pan seals etc as well as diff fluid. 1 for peace of mind and 2 because I don't know how it was driven prior. I'm going to ask them. See what happens.
