Thanks.

Go to a sewing store and ask for Singer Grease. It comes in a tube and not in a bottle, I have used it very successfully in electric motors.

I always see that "OEM" grease when I open stuff up.  I wish I could figure out what it is and where to get it.  It's always tan/brown.  I see it in toys, geared motors, actuators, appliances, etc.

That may work.

The syringe should really help too. I would think that any errant oil won't likely harm other speedo parts.

To my eye, the OEM lube at shaft and internal gears is a grease. Images:

I didn't see any of this at external gears (odometer etc.)
