F10 M5 DCT Gearbox Oil Change

[E6 RDM]

HI All

Does the DCT gearbox ever have an oil change? I hope it's not a "sealed for life" job

Seen this online https://www.blauparts.com/bmw-m5-dct...rivelogic.html

So maybe along the car's lifetime, it will be due an oil change?

Thanks

I just had mine serviced at Trinity Autosport using SSP trans pan and oem fluid. Now, my transmission feels smoother

change every 50k miles or with a clutch change.

I assume that BMW will do that as a service schedule when the time comes then?

No....BMW considers this a lifetime fluid

Read this link below ..already discussed....DCTF 1+ is sourced in Europe only and not USA

Yes change both DCT filters at the same time.

First of all wrong section.
