Should I consider getting an oil pan heater on Amazon or something to install before it starts getting too cold or is it unnecessary?
If you're running 0W-X oil I don't see any point in a oil pan heater.

Only problem you will face IMO is the car will be cold for your comfort.

I would just let the car run between 30s to 1 minute depending on how cold it is.
