Default b7 A4 transmission fluid change

hi, I bought a used b7 A4 with 58,500km on it a month ago,
and now it has 60,500km on it.
I was told by a one of my mechanic who installed hid kit for me
that transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000km.
I am not sure that the dealer (didn't buy it from AUDI dealership, bought it from MDA in vaughn) had changed it when I bought the car.
Is there anyway that I can check if I need to replace the transmission fluid?
Also, my car is in French, so if it says something about it, I won't be able to understand it.. (any advice on how to change it to english?)
Thanks ahead!!

You will never find an authorized Audi dealer recommend transmission oil change, they don’t have that in their scheduled maintenance they say it is life time fluid and the trans. unite is sealed, don’t ask why I am just saying what they told me , I went through that before I wanted to change the trans. Fluid . it is very expensive parts though, the oil is $64/ litter and you need alomost 9 liter for full fill, the oil pan gasket is $61, the filter is$108, I don't think the dealer you bought from did all of that, sorry to tell you that but that is my 2 cents, thanks
