Synthetic oil all around is good for the cold too, especially in the tranny.
If your truck is diesel, it might be fussier about cold starts. If it is regular fuel, carry a bottle of gasline antifreeze, just in case.
We don't have studs on any of our tires. Have never had an issue. I carry chains but have NEVER used them. My car seems to enjoy just crawling through the snow.
