Default Car tune-up, help me out!

I just rolled over 140,000mi. I haven't changed anything since I bought the car about 10,000mi ago, ive been **** poor broke, now I finally have a bit of money to spend on a tune up ($90). I already have an OEM Honda head gasket set that I plan to start working on this weekend, I am going to buy some oil, and oil filter, air filter, and probobly seafoam my engine. My car has a new tranny with brand new gear oil so I am not worried about that, what else would guys recommend else I change? I plan to leave for the Honda dealership in about an hour.

Oh yeah, and i'm hopefully going to buy some brake pads too. Thanks in advanced .

Also, how much oil do I need for my car? And what kind (brand/weight/etc) would you guys recommend?
