Was that "lifetime" transmission oil recommendation from the dealer or the service manual? A believe a year or two it came from the factory but then was changed to every 60K miles. DSGs require a fluid change every 40K and that service is $800 - $900 at my local VW dealer. (The service kit is $160 from IDIParts + a device to suction out the oil and some special tools)

The Touraeg is one VW that doesn't use a DSG. It has an Aisin 8 speed (at least my year 2012 did). I believe it's the identical transmission they use in the Cayenne Turbo with 500+hp and 0-60 under 4 sec. I had asked the service department because the dealership throws in a lifetime powertrain warranty on their used cars as long as you follow the service schedule. I asked him when we need to do the transmission and he said never. I was like, "as long as you guys are paying for it when it dies OK."
