It also doesn't align with the National Camera Repair Guide, which recommends cleaning a lot more of the individual mechanical parts, and only oiling fast moving parts in the shutter.

If you are referring to the camera repair course on learncamera.com, which edition does the topic come from?
The part that deals with SLRs, especially the shutter, is still missing, at least that's my observation.
There's a separate repair guide that focuses specifically on the K1000. You can find it here.
