I don't think you're going to be able to find information specific to the camera without knowledge of what sort of construction it has. Spring drive doesn't say enough, really. If it's similar to an Bell and Howell Eyemo, it probably uses similar lubricants to that. If it's like one of the other spring driven prewar 35mm cameras such as a DeVry, it may use other lubricants.

However, I bet you can find a synthetic oil which will meet the camera's needs pretty easily. The viscosity is what's most necessary to know. A shame I never had cause to oil an Eyemo, I only used one that had been serviced.
