BTW, I use regular 20W-50 engine oil for my chains.. I clean my chain twice a month and lube everyweek.

Wow I imagine that's a ball of crud to clean every two weeks. <shakes head> Motor oil works great when it's in a sealed environment with a filter. It's not designed for external use. The only people I see using motor oil down here are the Mexican migrant workers who complain that their bikes make funny noises after you clean the **** off. Just love that sludge.
