I have found that if you want to get it lubed and not attract dust, use
Slip-Plate. It is a graphite compound you can get in a can or spray. Put
it on, let it dry and away you go. I and a lot of farmers use it on chains
where oil would act as a dust magnet. It does a great job with no
"stickyness". You can probably find it on line or any farm store.
