Oil change

We have a 2012 Road King with 4,200 miles on it since all 3 oils were changed at the 1,000 mile service. I will be putting it in storage for the winter soon. I will replace the engine oil and filter as I've been told that doing so before storage is very important due to contaminants, acids etc. My question is does the same thing apply for the primary and transmission? I hate to have to replace these oils at 4k but will do so if it is the correct thing to do.

No. Just do the oil. You are changing it to remove the acid created when combustion occurs. No combustion no acid
