I swear by Mobil 1 5W-20 for my chain.
How do you apply that to your chain?
I pour the synthetic motor oil into an old chain lube bottle that I have from back before I became enlightened. So I apply it just like any other lube.

Sure, you could religiously clean it to keep crap from building up. Or you could buy lube that is intended for bicycles.
The dirty little secret is that most chain lube is, in fact, low viscosity synthetic oil.

The viscosity of chain lube is significantly lower than motor oil. They are not interchangeable. Would you use chain lube in your car engine if it were cheaper than motor oil?
