Default PDK Service after 6 years?

I know I've seen several posts that say a PDK service is due every 6 years, but I just checked the electronic copies of my manual and maintenance booklet, and don't see it listed.

Am I missing it somewhere?

Thanks!

It's in the maintenance booklet for my 2012 GTS at 60,000 miles, but nlt every 6 years, p. 9.

Just checked the physical copy of my maintenance booklet, and yep, it's in there.

That means that the electronic copy that I downloaded from somewhere must be for an earlier model.

I recently did mine at 54k miles . Mine a 2009 and I felt comfortable that fresh PDK oil might extend the life of the gearbox. I have no scientific knowledge regarding the longevity of the fluid, but 6 years is getting on a bit so I decided to change it.

Just did mine on 12/30. 09 C4S. Don't have the miles but had the time. Since I have a warranty policy, I wanted to make sure the maintenance boxes are ticked.

Please see my thread last month here: FYI on costs for a PDK clutch oil change. It discusses the costs and options you may have to lower the costs a bit.

As you will read, the big differentiater is the pan. Mine only has 12000 mi and after consulting Porsche NA, they advised that a pan swap was not necessary. Therefore my cost was much less. Storm's thread is excellent and worth the read.
