Nope, Not yet.
I've read about doing the same thing with hot wax.
Is it easy to remove a chain and kerosene wash/ gear oil soak after installing it as maintenance? In other words, Do these cheap chains come with and easily removable master? Gear oil seems less convenient than motor oil. What would I do with the leftover soak oil as it's contaminated? Keep it to pour over the chain later?
Will 75w-90 work, as that's what I would have on hand? Gear oil is better than motor oil for extreme pressure. That's good. Does a roller chain benefit? What if I put motor oil on after the gear oil. Those two are incompatible, right? Yeah, I know. I'm getting ridiculous overthinking this.
