My reference to 3-in-1 was only for the sintered bronze bearings in the rotor, where it needs to 'creep.'
Proper clock oil is formulated to do quite the opposite - it needs to stay put!
Paul's comment is quite correct - an electric clock train needs no force to drive it, as opposed to a spring or weight driven clock where the train has a considerable force applied to it.
