*Do these cars run better with 91 octane vs. 87?
*Do "keyless entry" only cars have the red LED flashing light on top of the dash like the cars equipped with an alarm?
*When is the timing belt replacement due? 140k?
*Oil change - I know it's 6.1 quarts with a filter change, but is 6.5 quarts better?

1) yes.
2)YES
3) every 70k
4) remember that more oil=more pressure in the motor which might not be good for the old seals, and if your pcv system is starting to clog,, you might have leakage from too much oil in there.
