Very old thread, by my X definitely "zings" when it's below zero out. It's -10*F at the moment and it's making me cringe every time I start it. I asked at Shucks/O'Reilly when I was there buying oil pan heaters for another car, and they did have a block heater that stated it would work for the 2001 3.0. I was told that the stick-on oil pan heaters are superfluous with full synthetic oil.
