I'd do brake fluid and cabin microfilter annually
For the gearbox and rear diff gear oil, I'd do used oil analysis to decide if that interval is good enough. I think 30k miles might be better place to start |

as for the transmission. I have been warned that the DCT if not done correct can cause serious damage. Please make sure you get this done my the dealer or a indy shop that knows what they are doing.

Tx, I'm scheduled to change the tranny fluid soon. Just wondering what the work order should state on the form, e.g. fluid #, # of bottles, replacement plug, etc? |

Oil should be 5k to 7k if you are running a tune. You will also need to change the spark plugs sooner with a tune as well. Probably around 20k. Everything else seems reasonable.

I did my DCT and diff at around 60k miles at a leading gearbox specialist shop in my country. DCT shifts a lot better after it. I remember reading that DCTs should be serviced even earlier than that. On the website of that specialist they recommended to service DCTs at 40k-60k kms. Thats 25-37k miles.
