Back when o-rings chains first became common, the lube of choice was heavy motor oil. An o-ring chain contains it's own internal lube, so all the oil was doing was keeping surface rust from forming. The drill was every 600 miles you washed the chain with kerosene and oiled it with motor oil. Wipe off the excess and you're done.
Some of the modern chain lubes are a b**ch to get off the chain, so I see a lot of people just re-lubing with more of the crap, without removing the old stuff first. Not ideal.
