I am about to do my second oil change. I know the manual says oil and engine oil filter every 2000km and the DCT filter every 4000km.
My question is, for the cost of the DCT filter would you just change it every oil change? I am having trouble with having clean oil and a used filter....
What do you guys do?

Thanks for the confirmation,
I was trying to figure out what was behind the factory recommendation of a filter every other oil change
They are probably trying to save you money through service compared to other manufacturers. DCT filters don't cost that much and you're already right there when you change the engine oil filter.

Look at your filters when you change them, they'll be spotless. I almost always change both at every oil change anyway and feel dirty when I don't. This thing will still be running when I'm pushing up daisies.
