I've always used engine oil. I got 18,000 miles out my O.E.M. chain on my 73' Kaw 500 triple with it. Right now I'm experimenting with CRC spray lithium grease. I spray it into a plastic cup and apply it with a disposable 1/2" brush. It's really watery until the carrier evaporates and the grease sticks like glue. No ca ca on my rear wheel and the lithium grease is water resistant. We'll see.
