I'm with Slaninar, Scottoiler all the way. It includes a cleaning fluid and chains last 3+ times as long, that's proven. The container holds enough oil for at least 500 miles, so how can you forget to top it up? Would you forget to check tyre pressures? Better Scottoil than that sticky dirt magnet stuff that comes out of cans.

500 miles - holy crap i would have to refill it every week at least
i agree with matt entirely on this

if you ride in all weathers they are not the best of ideas (although usefull to a degree) [size=1em]and as for 3x longer - in comparison to what ??? [/size]
[size=1em]a properly looked after chain removing the road crap will last just as long as any scottoiler looked after chain, especially with o/x ring chains as we are no longer lubricating the inner rollers we are only lubricating the plates that hold the rollers together[/size]

My experience differs. The chain is very clean, without the need to clean it. And it is always lubed. Combination of dirt that gets stuck to a lubricant makes for a nice grinding paste - one of the reasons the chain lasts a lot shorter, than a lot thinner cam shaft chain, that is always closed inside the engine, always clean and lubed. Scottoiler keeps the chain lubed, while the ("thin") oil flings off it along with any dirt  - so the chain stays both clean and lubed.

Using other methods, it's very hard to clean the chain between the pins and the rollers, where it matters.
