No... what I'm saying is with ringed chains its more important to clean them than anything. That is why so many talk about cleaning with kero. It is a great cleaner that won't dry out like gasoline and being its an oil it has lubing properties.

With the ringed chains, lube is locked in with the ring seal at the places where it needs to be. You just need to keep that ring clean and some lube on the surface to keep it plyable.
