BTW, even with the very involved process changing the fluid, you're only getting about 60% of it out.

Pretty sure Audi's are supposed to be lifetime also, but my POS A6 had a leaking trans oil cooler, so I ended up changing the fluid and filter (PITA overcomplicated procedure on the Audi) but DID NOT flush as I heard that flushing can cause problems.
