Well, appearently BMW does not think so since they claim it is sealed for life. This could have something to do with how DCT transmissions are cooled. I might be wrong on this, but aren't they supposed to have dedicated oil coolers? If so, there might be additional filters in place to catch particles that should not be circulating. Just a thought...
