The DIY is very straightforward.
Unscrew the drain bolt, it's a HEX 10mm I THINK
Unbolt the torx bolts and let the pan drop
-TIP- unbolt a set of torx bolts so that when you loosen the pan, it's at an angle to let residual fluid drain out. Slowly release more torx bolts until most of the fluid is drained out from the pan. This can save yourself from getting very messy.

While you're in there, might as well change the DCT filter. My thread has the procedure, and I used another member's DIY for the fluid adjustment.

Do I just need the gasket (#2) or the gasket that goes under mechatronics unit (#5). Please tell me its the #2 one lol
The gasket is #2 is what you'll need. But this is a huge job and requires you to drop the DCT. According to TIS, you must use ISTA for this procedure. Even me having ISTA, I didn't even want to tackle this unless absolutely necessary.
