Tim- I've seen failures (transmission, transfer case, and differentials) from condensation diluting/ruining the fluid in climates with humidity and temperature extremes. The detergents can also break down or oxidize with age. Fluids can even turn acidic. Plus modern synthetic fluids are superior. So why would you recommend skipping it?
