What kind of truck?

I would just do the standard tune up, perhaps a fuel filter change as well. Might consider having the trans looked at, though it may not be necessary.

As for oil, stick with the factory recommended weight.

5w30, tranny service (doesnt cost but like $10 if you do it yourself i dont think), plugs, wires, and look at your tires and make sure they're good ta go, and properly inflated.
