If you're going to change your oil and filter, AutoZone sells cans of stuff that you can put in, run for 10 minutes, and drain, it really does get a lot of crap off of the inside of the engine. Don't screw yourself with cheap oil, if you're changing it, get some synthetic blend intended for high-mileage engines.
You're also probably due for a transmission fluid (or gear oil) change, a radiatior flush, and an A/C recharge. If you're going to be changing auto transmission fluid, disconnect the hose from the bottom of the tranny that goes to the radiator, and run the car in park for a few minutes to drain the torque converter, and slowly pour a quart of fresh fluid through as it runs. Then, change or clean the transmission screen, and put a new gasket on the pan when you put it back on. If there's a lot of cra pin the screen, you may have a transmission problem.
If I'm remembering my old '89 camry right, it has a distributor, and you should check or change the cap and rotor.
Rotate your tires, check them for uneven wear, probably have tehm balanced and aligned. Check your brake pads while you have the tires off. Top off the brake fluid if it needs more.
Check your power steering fluid.
Check your turn signal fluid (just seeing if you're still reading, but people have actually been charged for that.)
Check all your belts, make sure all of the wires and harnesses are still firmly connected.
Check the exhaust system for any rust.
Pay a few extra bucks for Chevron Techron injector cleaner and put that in with a fresh tank of gas.
Speaking of gas, change the fuel filter on the outside of your tank.
If you know someone with a timnig light, you can check your timing.
