Frank reccomends WD, and call him when it needs repair. I am
guessing that the LPS3 or white lithium will last longer.

Years ago, I bought some "chain lube" stuff, with an eye
towards using on my chainsaw. It turned out to be black,
sticky, and full of moly, maybe. Totally messy. I may still
have the can of stuff, I seldom use it for any thing. Might
help with squeaky car door hinges, I may try that some time.

My dad had some of that chain lube, was basically aerosol graphite
grease. Probably would work OK in this application, if a bit messy to
clean off, come the day. Worked well on the snowblower drive chain.
