Audi Q5 Transmission fluid Question

First time Audi owner, looking thru manual, no maintenance info on changing transmission fluid or rear diff fluid, is this a " sealed for life"
similiar to BMW, I would like to get enough life past the warranty period though.

Hey Ductman welcome to Audi Forum

A lot of manufacturers are using their "lifetime" use fluid as an excuse to save money. I however would advice to change tranny and diff fluid by the time you hit 50-60K for better performance and life.
