You should be fine unless it gets real cold a lot where you live (like -20 F or colder), as Old says, multi-viscosity like engine oils.

Water condensation is a problem on all older IH (and maybe others) tractors. I drain the water off without draining the lube in the fall. After the tractor has set for a few days, the water will separate to the bottom of the rear end. Loosen the drain plug located above the drawbar BUT DO NOT TAKE IT ALL THE WAY OUT!) Water will start to drip before the lube comes out, and you can drain it this way. Takes a little time an patience to get the plug loosened so that the water gets out fairly quickly, but this way you can get the water out and the lube will still be good for a long time.
