IF any contaminants suspended in the oil - especially moisture get into some of these areas it can cause corrosion siting there for prolonged periods of time and when you're dealing with very tight clearances it doesn't take much to cause something to bind or seize. That is where potentially catastrophic damage can occur in mere seconds.
Also a reason not to skimp on cheap fluids and filters. In the long run it's just not worth it.

100% this. I usually oil change in the fall when I winterize, but this year ran out of time and said oh what the heck I’ll just do it in the spring......good call on my part apparently.....
