Synthetic oil
Here a few more tips to consider...
Use full synthetic engine oil. Full synthetics, such as Mobil 1, stay closer to the same viscosity when the engine is cold. Conventional petroleum oils thick a lot in cold winter temperatures and it takes a lot of energy to overcome this.
As a result, it takes less fuel to turn the engine when it is warming up.
Also, in winter, the lower cold viscosity of full synthetics means that they pump up and lubricate the engine more quickly. This goes well with many other tips that have the driver pulling out very soon after engine start.
