Default Entering the Escape 3.0L/181 fun

Long time DIY home mechanic ready to dive into a nice '02 XLT Choice 4x4 3.0L/181 from here in the LA area, 160k miles, Blue with Tan dash and trim.

Past Fords: 91 F350 Red 4x4 Crew Cab 8' bed, 98 Ford Explorer XLT, Lincoln Navigator 99 5.4 Triton
Current Ford Motor Rig: '06 Land Rover Range Rover HSE with Jag/Ford 4.4 NA

The list right away:
- Fluids change: Trans and filter, Rear Dif, Oil/filter, Coolant, (not brake fluid, brakes, rotors yet, they're excellent)
* Recommended Brand/Viscosity?
- Cam Seals, Valve Cover Gaskets - Felpar, Front Crank Seal.
* Recommended Brand for Seals?
- Coils, Wires, full set
* Recommend Brand ? Accel ?
* front control arms with fresh bushings

Steering wheel squeak, need to open it up and add white grease somewhere in there so it won't squeak. Sounds like just dry rubber on the shaft. Suggestions?
Need to install a solid Double Din head unit with touch and wireless carplay. Suggestions?

Cheers,
Terry
