X2. I know the 4 bangers and I think the 3400 is already supposed to be using 5w30. Coolant is important as well. Check it to make sure its good for low temperatures so as not to freeze your radiator and hoses, cause well, thats just bad. Since I dont know the history of mine at all, Im dumping and refilling the whole system myself. Check your tires, need good tread and pressure will drop a few pounds with the cold. Brakes, and your heater and defroster work. Redog wrote a great how-to for fixing that on here. (the rear window defroster) and keep up regular maintenance.
