I have the full dct service kit from FCP euro with the pan, filter, bolts and pentosin fluid. I can sell it to you for cheap and you can get the service done on your own. I sold my car before I got to do it

Gdo and jkings auto is a good shop for this. I personally went to jkings but a lot of my friends go to gdo and I heard nothing but good things from them.

Does anyone know how often does the DCT needs to be serviced?

attached below is a forum member’s DCT Blackstone report, analysis performed 11/2020 on a 2015 F8X (OEM tune) with 77.6K miles. note the included comments.
based on this report among others I will service my own F82 DCT at 65-68K miles (I’m no where near that). seems like overdoing it but considering I will do this at most twice during my ownership I call it cheap insurance. that doing so (and having a Blackstone to prove it) is likely to enhance resale value is just a bonus, imo.
caveat: as always longevity and mileage estimates are subject to how the car is driven and maintained but given a well cared for F8X and a non-lunatic driver, these numbers are reasonable.
also, bare in mind that this is not the same DCT used in F9X and a few others. it is THE SAME gearbag found in M5 and M6 before they went torque-converter. it is VERY robust.

It would be best to have that redone. The DCT's need to be brought up to a specific temperature and then pumped out of the of the trans via ISTA's refill procedure. Lots of areas the old fluid will not come out of with a standard drain and fill. If you refilled it to factory specs, you may have overfilled if not enough came out.
