All marine manus strongly say this about all oils to be changed at lay up time including the outdrive oil. The reasons are New oil is not contaminated in which offer better lubricity and offers better corrosion protection.
Oils that have run time and over that time --- plus the heating and cooling of oils cause it to oxidize along with moisture build up. This alone breaks down the additives within the oils itself. Also with used oils they form acids along with oxidation process ---- this over time can be hard on bearings and especially seals. A short jist of an answer.

you need to run engine and drives on water hose and for winterizations or the lay up process anyways. Change your oils first - then lastly run engines and drives on water hose with fuel lay up mix as well. The new oil changes coat all parts for better protection plus you want to run your fuel side lay up / 2 stroke oil fogging mix thru the engines. Wise to bring the engines up to proper temp and run for a good 5 to 15 mins after that.
