Joe,
You're on the right track with a light weight oil. I've been using 5w30 in the winter up here (Vermont) and that seems to do it (and you can safely run that till about April or 80Deg.F). I don't know about the Saturn's fuel injection system, I'll assume it's port injection, which is a little different from what I'm used to with Volvos, but on really cold starts, the best bet is to let it crank the first attempt for a long long time. Like close to a minute if necc. and after about 20 to 30 seconds you can give it about a 1/4 throttle, which really is just opening the intake enough to prevent the engine from flooding. A fresh set of plugs isn't a bad idea unless you've had them replaced within 30K miles.
If you're gonna be up at Jay for a while, I'd take a couple runs with you, last one down buys the first round.
