If you value your O-rings don't put that stuff on your chain... that mixture sounds as if it would dissolve anything non-metallic. :eek
I don't clean my chain either. As the Major says, a regular supply of oil keeps the thing lubricated and as clean as it needs to be.
One thing I wouldn't use is waste engine oil, it's full of carcinogenic crap and corrosive combustion products... which is why you emptied it out of your engine. Cheap car engine oil in a Scotoiler is fine if you can cope with the expense of about 50p per thousand miles.
