My question is what oil weight would you consider for lubing.
Mineral spirits......sold as paint thinner.....is similar to kero without the smell; works good for cleaning.
WD works good too.

Why would you NOT use the weight and type of oil that is recommended ??
Synthetic 50W90 gear lube is available in quarts and a quart will probably last through 2 or 3 chains.
