A 10w-30 dino or synthetic blend should be fine, if your feeling ballin a 5w40 will work too. I would change all the fluids, ATF, Power steering, x-case, coolant, brake...you name it...change it. Make sure your coolant is still up to spec and have your GPR tested to make sure your glow plugs are still good. Also load test the batteries to make sure they can take the cold.
