...Zmilin can keep his bike clean with a chain and Scottoiler helped me decided to go that direction...
Hmm, an oiler on an "O" oe "X" ring chain seems unnecessary from my perspective. To each their own.
Your right...to each their own...BUT when the manufacturer of some of the better "O" ring chains suggest lubing as part of proper maintenence then I guess Ill follow their suggetsions.

Q How should I maintain my O-ring chain?
A. Doing routine maintenance on any chain is a crucial step to getting the maximum wearlife out of your chain. You should clean and check its adjustment every 400 miles (sooner if the chain gets excessively dirty). Use formulated O-ring chain cleaner or other similar product to keep dirt from building up around link plates and rollers. Don’t use a wire brush or pressure washer. If your chain comes in contact with water, be sure to use a moisture displacement (like WD40). Lubing an O-Ring chain is vital for maximum wearlife. All RK O-Ring chains are injected at the factory with a lifetime supply of internal lubricant. The purpose of an O-Ring lube is to keep the chain from rusting and the O-rings from drying out. Use a lubricant specifically designed for O-Ring Chains.
