Has anyone changed fluid in the 7sp DQ381 DSG yet?

Apologies if it's been posted, but I can't find a guide anywhere for this DSG in my 7.5R

Manual says to change it at 80k miles, I plan on doing it sooner than that, probably at 40k. Currently at 22k, just put a TVS stage 2+ TCU tune on it about 1k ago.

I figure it's a similar process to the 6sp, but the orientation of the filter is different so I didn't want to just wing it. thanks ahead of time

I recently did the service. Car had 30,000 kms.

Fluid was spotless. I have been stage2 8kms-25kms.
Blew the turbo @ 25k. Have been Dbv2 V1 for last 7k.

Just changed my Eurodyne dsg tune to the same as
you TVS 2+. I like being super early on preventative maintenance. Makes
me feel better when I do track days.
It's an hour job and $100 in supplies. Same fluid and
Filter as dq250 ��

I don't regret changing prematurely. Good luck!

I assume the longer maintenance interval is due to no longer having a wet clutch wearing and contaminating the fluid?

I believe it was previously a 6sp dq250 and now it's a dq381
it's still a wet clutch, not sure of how they were able to recommend 2x longer than the previous maintenance interval
