I just noticed this after rereading the post, but if you use redline DCTF (very solid fluid imo, and I will be going to this fluid personally in my next transmission fluid change) I would keep intervals really really low. Because it is an ester heavy oil and esters oxidize rapidly so it is not a good fluid for long term use. So 50k km for street use or ~4 years tops maybe even less (and UOA will confirm) whatever comes first, and for the track 25k km or maybe 2 years whatever comes first (it is best to get a UOA to confirm everything is ok).


But oil is cheap, dct's aren't so it is best to replace fluids regularly as preventative maintaineance.
