I read a study on chains were a test was ran at a university with chains that had lube and chains with no lube. Both chains performed the same and neither chain showed more wear than the other. The point they wanted to make was that lube, oil whatever you want to call it is there to keep crap from getting into those areas that are to remain clean and unihibited with foreign debris.
