Dealer lying about DSG maintenance interval?

Greetings all.

I'm sorry as I know this question appears to be asked and answered that the 7-speed DSG's interval is 80k miles, but wanted to be certain so we don't void our VW certified warranty.

We're at 39k on our 2023 GTI, dealer told us during very recent oil change that it's critical we do DSG service at max of 40k miles. VW's own website doesn't indicate this, and only indicates DSG service at 80k. They also told us we need spark plugs, where same story is 80k per VW's site. Not looking to waste $600+ on these two services.

Screenshots from VW showing the clear listing at 80k vs 40k. This seems stupidly simple but I can't help not second guessing when VW doesn't provide a hardcopy service schedule.

Thank you for any peace of mind!
