I use 5w20 all year round and it's fine. You should also top off your fluids if necessary.

As for the tires... I have dedicated snows that are at 34PSI.... not sure what the stocks should be.... probably around the same.

Yep, the only thing I would add is that I will check the freeze point of the antifreeze each winter. Habit.

If you get your car serviced at the dealership there is nothing special to do for the winter. As said check the fluid levels & the wiper fluid change to the winter stuff & check your blades.
In Washington D.C. were I live weare now under a winter storm warning. They are calling for 5to8 inches of snow starting late tonight. I got my snow tires put on this mourning after I went to the supermarket to stock up on food.
