Seems like a good idea to pre warm the oil.
Not necessary if you are using 5-30W synthetic oil.

For the very cold, long Northern winters I might go to 0-30W but wouldn't be imperative to add a heater even then. Only thing I ever did when living where I never will again was make sure my battery was in great shape and if I replaced the battery I looked for the battery with the highest cold cranking amps.

No downside, unless you do something that has the potential to cause a fire or drains the battery down enough so it might not start in a Texas summer.
