It ain't the brand of oil that's causing your chocolate milk problems.
It's leaving the tractor out in the rain all the time that causes the bulk of it.
Some people will tell you that it's condensation. The normal heating and cooling cycles of the day cause the inside of the transmission to "sweat" like a toilet tank, and the water collects inside.
Condensation will account for a little of the water, but not all that much. There just isn't enough air exchange from the inside of the transmission to the outside world to generate that much moisture... Most of what gets in gets in due to rain.
If you can get your tractor under some sort of cover, that would help a lot with the water infiltration. A shed, a lean-to, a carport, even a tarp... ANYTHING to protect the tractor from the elements somewhat. Your tractor will be cleaner, and more reliable too.
