The Zigmeister in other posts has said there are specific oils for specific parts and best practices dictates following the ETA oiling specs...meaning no do-it-all solution.

This is what I thought

I'm not in tune to the different oils to be honest...just going by what I've read here.

Another The Zigmeister quote found in this interesting discussion:

"It takes up to 6 different oils and greases to properly lubricate a watch, there is no way that applying a film of oil over the whole movement does it any good"

What those oils and greases are I have no idea.

I don't have the chart handy, but I remember looking at an ETA/Valjoux 7750 oiling chart that showed all the different oils and which to use where...waaaaaaay beyond my level of expertise.

A good cheap oil for most uses is La Perle, it comes in a 10ml bottle so its great value.

If you want the proper setup the you need the following Moebius oils and greases:

9010 for jewels

941 for pallets for slower beat movements (6497's)

9415 for pallets on higher beat movements (most 7750's and 28xx)

D5 for most chrono parts, keyless works and date change parts

9501 for "frictions", ie cannon pinions, and slipper clutches in winding mechanisms.

The ETA charts from their web site have great breakdowns and oiling guides to follow.
