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.

Up to you but I personally wouldnt worry about it. The DCT has been around for years, many of which have seen well over 100k miles with the original fluid. I have yet to read about an issue someone experienced because the fluid was not changed on their DCT.
