Cold in San Jose???Bwahahahahaha.
Nevermind, pre-oiling a motor, imo, is a necessity. (flame suit on)
You are correct in being concerned about cold temps, even the appropriate wt.
oil is pretty sluggish when cold.
You may have heard that spinning the motor w/ the starter and not firing until pressure is worthwhile - I say its a waste of time if you have compression.
Accusump, decent
oil pan and if you corner hard you might consider a warning light so you know (hopefully) if you are approaching a low pressure situation.
Best wishes from temperate southern Colorado!
Mornings in the teen are common, single digits often, below zero usually once or twice a year, coler than -10 not unheard of! (heated garage)

I talked to http://www.accusump.com/ tech and they recomended the kits as follow:
24-700 hose kits
24-006 3qt accusump
24-200 clamp
24-273 elect switch
Are these all the things I need? what is the T or Y fitting, how do I know my car has the oil cooler?
Thanks
