the shutter is slow at speed slower than 1/4, it seems easy to add some lubricate is I can open it, but I don't have the tool to open it, any suggestion?
Thank you in advance

What will you lubricate in the shutter and with what lubricants?
If I remember correctly, I did open a copal 0 which comes with a 90 6.8, then put some dry graphite on a some gears, I know that may be the correct way, but when I put it back the 1 seconds and 1/2 seconds sounds good now,
I think you're going at the question backwards, anyway. When shutters slow down, they don't need more oil; they need the crap/oil mix that's in them cleaned out. That's a more complex job than just dripping oil on top of a bunch of crap that's already there and hoping for the best. You CHANGE the oil in your car, right--you don't just put more in there on top of the dirty mess of ages and shavings that's in there now.
Dripping oil in like you're thinking is a guaranteed way to make the shutter not work at all, as the oil migrates to places it wasn't intended and things stick together.
Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:

I had a shutter rebuilt by Carol at Flutots Camera Repair as well. First class work!
