I thought all unleaded gas was called "white gas", but regardless, it's just not what I would use as a solvent for lubing my chain.....don't want the fumes, skin contact, or fire hazard around my garage. This is solvent overkill IMO; aren't most cleaners and lubes are going water-based to avoid these hazards?

Also, 90W oil or wax is too heavy for me. These aren't motorcycles, why use a thick oil or grease adding drivetrain drag. A few ounces of extra chain drag sure isn't what I want. Tried the Ice Wax, and don't like the heavyness of that stuff either.

Seems to me this mix is close to the WD-40 or cheap spray lubes anyway. I've used these, and they seem to work fine. Spray the stuff onto a rag or directly on the chain after a ride, then wipe clean before going out.

Teflon "dry lube" is also available at the hardware stores in big spray cans. I've got some of that now, and it does seem to be "cleaner" than using the WD-40 stuff.

I've also tried Sears chainsaw lube. It's available in large jugs. Looks a lot like a 15W-50 synthetic oil to me, but rather sticky. Seems to me any oil that stays on the outside of the chain only attracts dirt anyway. A 0W synthetic oil might be good to try too.

Lots of options for chains....I don't know what's best.
