You can run a new medium to heavy gauge wire directly from the Battery +
post, thought the rubber grommet in the Firewall, and up into the Dash
to the Radio. Remember to add an inline fuse near the battery end for
safety (don't leave home without it).

Better to run new wire than tying into the existing loom.

As for Antenna you can fender mount the tall regular type ant from Fuba
if you want (or some other vendor) but without at least some headliner
manipulation you should reconsider the roof mounted one.

Oil comes in many flavors. If you are not below freezing you can go with
the 20w50 but a thinner version might be needed now that we are in
Winter (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway :)

Even if the stuff is not the best or recommended, at least you can flush
out the old stuff and New oil is almost always better than old oil.
