Hydraulic oil when to change

I know there is other threads on this matter but couldn't find a definite answer. Since I live in Indiana where it's hot in summer and cold in winter. Do I need to change my hydraulic oil weight for the the different temperature change, from hot to cold or vice versa. I read where you use heavier weight in summer and lighter weight in winter. Which means I would have to change twice a year or is there a happy medium. As I will be mowing in summer and plowing in winter. Twice a year seems little excessive. Since it also says change every 500 hrs then to me contradicts it's self as in picture.

Oh, another thing on synthetic oils. The first synthetic oil was ✌released on the general public in 1955 - years before Colt (the original GT) was released! It was very expensive, and not widely available. Like everything else, telephones for instance, the internet, even cable TV was developed after the first Colt GTs were released and has improved or been invented since.. The fact that synthetic oils were not included in the Case/Colt/Ingersoll manuals is frankly mute!
Guys this will be my last post ever on this site about oils..to me it is like talking about politics everyone has their own opinion, everyone their own experience, yet nobody wants to do the work and actually learn by research. I left this site a couple of years ago because of these types of arguments where so called experts knew better.. many described themselves as mechanics, etc.
Ray at this point I believe we all have read enough about oil from everyone. If new member wanted to know about what kind of oil to use where they could easily find that out by looking in the manuals section or by using the search. I like having you on the site and hearing about your experiences with our favorite tractor brand. No need for anyone here to get in an argument on any subject. ✌Harry
