Remember the old adage: any oil is better than no oil!
I use Moebius HP1300 for the keyless work and on the hr wheel,, D5 will also suffice.
The service sheet doesn`t mention this, but it's sensible to oil orgrease the flat face of the winding pinion because it rubs against the mainplate when the watch is hand-wound. I also lubricate the teeth of the winding pinion lightly.
As for the crown, I think it'll be tap 9, standard ETA 2801/2824 stems are tap 9 and I can`t see why this should differ.
