On a non o-ring chain that may work o.k. Give it a try and let us know what you think,Id lube it while the chain was warm from use.

I believe it is for non-oring chains only, or mainly. I know that from Jaybird always knocking on O/X ring chains. I'll be honest and say I'm a major slacker when it comes to chains. I'm horrible and NEVER clean my chain and bearly lube it. Which it is a Did Xring. It has lasted roughly 8 months so far, doesn't even look like it has worn any at all.

Wow, I really like the bar and chain oil!!! I used some of my Grandfather's craftsmen (30w I think) red stuff yesterday. You can tell it's a bit tacky cuz it's kind of stringy when you brush it on. After mud riding for 4 hours yesterday, my chain didn't even look very dirty. I just hosed it off and it came perfectly clean. Even cleaner than when I lubed it!!! It totally penetrated and displaced the old dirt that was still there from the previous ride!!!

I've been using an RK Gold o-ring chain (not cheap) and Renthal sprockets for two years now. I wash my chain along with the bike and spray it with WD-40 when I get done. I can't remember the last time I had to adjust it and it still looks great.
