Buy a can of foaming chain lube for non-O ring chains.
I.e. Froogle "Permatex Chain Lube 80075"
For spray-on products, you need a foaming lubricant if you expect it to
penetrate inside the rollers of the chain. Unfortunately, most spray on
products give you a beautiful looking chain on the outside, but they
don't actually ever reach the rollers.
If you are soaking the chain, you can use chainsaw oil. Cheap and effective.
No need to purchase any of those expensive and exotic lubricants that
cost as much as printer ink.
