Purolator "One" oil filters are probably better than the K&N oil filters. In the test that I saw, the Purolator was well-built and filtered out smaller particles than any other filter in the test.

Don't worry about the weight of the gear oil. 75W-90 is hardly any different than 80W-90.

If you haven't already done it, I'd suggest replacing all the brake fluid in the brake lines. At 85k miles on my SVX, the brake fluid was getting pretty dark. Replacing the brake fluid will help minimize corrosion in the brake system. Dot 3 or 4 brake fluid is fine. Don't try to use the Dot 5 stuff. Its easiest to do the brake fluid replacement if you replace the original brake bleeders with speed bleeders. Then you can do the job faster and by yourself.
