You'll want a light "clock" oil for the speedo. I used a general
light synthetic oil on mine.
Thanks re- the light clock oil...

update - I just got back from a run to the parts store and the speedo started acting up again - it settled down and stayed close to speed (but still jittery).. Is it an issue of not enough lubricant or too much? I sprayed the Lithium grease on it and then wiped it off - should I spray it and leave it as it lays? I was concerned of over lubricating.

Thanks
