Default Advice on service components please

When I got my SV two weeks ago it had just turned two years old and had 4k on the clock, so it needs it's first proper service.

I'm going to do it myself and I figure that it's best to combine the 4k & 24month items. So my shopping list is as follows:
Engine Oil
Engine Oil Filter
Engine antifreeze\coolant (suitable for aluminium radiator)
Distilled water (1l)
Brake Fluid - Glycol based (Not Silicone or Petroleum based)
Spark Plugs - (NGK CR8E or DENSO U24ESR-N)

M&P do a service pack for £30 which includes Silkolene Oil, a filter and appropriate plugs. Bit worried the filter isn't OEM but figure it'll prolly be ok. I'm more stuck on the Brake Fluid and Antifreeze. I figure it'd be easiest to order them at the same time as the other stuff and I was going to stick with Silkolene products (for no good reason) but I can't tell if they would be appropriate (as in being Glycol based & suitable for aluminium radiator respectively ) [oh and Googling hasn't helped either].

So anyone care to venture an opinion on any of the above? Ie on the What or Where or Suitability or anything else
