I mix and match all the time and I also don't lube an o ring or X ring chain either since the seal that keeps dirt out also keeps the lube out. All gear oil will do is cause dirt to stick to the chain acting as an abrasive. I think compound is more important than brand.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
