SB says "New chains come pre-lubricated with a
grease-type lubricant which has been installed at the factory. This is an excellent lubricant, and has been made to permeate all of the internal interstices in the chain."
I just put on a new chain last week, it sure seemed greasy rather than waxy to me.
