PDK fluid change
I have a 2015 C2S PDK. I track the car about 12 days a year. I have 13,000mi. on the car. Is changing the trans fluid and filter advisable? I tend to be over the top on maintenance. I want to keep my car bullet proof. If it's do please give me any 'how to ' tips. Thanks Gang

Short answer: no
Long answer: The standard fluid maintenance schedule is at 120k, I believe. You're proposing to change your tranny fluid at about 10% of what it's rated for. Seems like a waste of money/time to me.

Only caveat I’d offer is to maybe do it at 40k vs 120k. For one, you will probably never see 120k, 2, that is for a standard street driven car, a track is way harder on the car and pdk (probably running it in Sport Plus the whole time), 3, piece of mind for a guy who is proactive w mx, and finally 4, it is pretty inexpensive to do!
