...Amsoil makes a chain lube called Heavy Duty Metal Protector. Basically it is a Marine grade wax with rust inhibitory additives. I use it very lightly on the bikes chains. I use it for undercoated on all my cars (when needed). I also use it to treat the threads of bolts for anything being mounted on the bikes or cars. Just not on anything being directly attached to the engine or exhaust.

For X or O ring chains the chain lube is only there to keep the outside surface of the chain from rusting and to help maintain the integrity of X or O ring seals. Which is why I use the Amsoil HD Metal protector. It is designed to condition and prolong the life of rubber and plastic. I actually spray it on the cars CV boots and all Power steering boots. Since doing that I haven't had a CV boot ripe in any of my cars...



Finally something useful in a chain lube thread!
