5w40 synthetic oil should start at -20 and lower no problem without plugging in. assuming the batteries and cables are good

Re: plugging in truck

i just run a cord from my truck into my garage on a timer. shut the garage door, extension cord is just fine under the door. just make sure there is a little slack on each side of the door, just in case is pulls a little on the cord when the door is down.
