Does dsg fluid need to be changed exactly at 40k, or can it go a little over?

Define a little? 500 miles? Sure. 5k? Probably not ideal.
Did mine at 34k and it looked really good. Mostly stage 2 and 6K miles IS38. Couple days at the drag strip, tons of street pulls. I'm sure I could have gone to 40k or slightly over with no issues.
Other people do them at 40k and the fluid is black and looks burnt, even on less modded cars with likely less WOT time.
I think a big factor is whether or not you have bumper to bumper traffic on your commute.
Regardless, If you just drain and fill it's not that bad of a procedure, should be about $125 and 2 hours time with basic tools and mechanical ability.
Quick question, does US cars have a different maintenance schedule than cdn cars? Reason why I ask cuz my owners manual says to change DSG fluid and filter at 60000 km which works out to roughly 37200 miles, not the 40K that people are changing the fluid at

Is measuring & pouring back in what comes out a good method, or it makes since that there should be a set specific amount that should be put in? And do I need to run through the gears with my foot on the brake, or is that only for the bottom fill method? If anyone knows

Anyone know if shops like autozone, advance, carry dsg fluid? Im at 40k now and worried to drive it.
