I doubt my experience with this chain is unique, but I haven’t seen anyone else mention Green Oil as a chain lube, and the grime remaining now is really dry, rather than oily. I’m happy togive mineral oil a try, though, after the range of endorsements here.
Not mineral oil! Mineral spirits. You may know it as "white spirits". It goes by other names like petroleum spirits, solvent naphtha, Varsol or Stoddard solvent. If you type in "mineral spirits" on the page you linked and click on "painting prep" you can get to this page. Any place that sells painting supplies should have it.
