If I see someone commuting on a gearbox bike, I am going to rob them on general principles.

I use Canola oil, maybe that's why I get so hungry on a ride.

Oh wow...a pissing contest over chain lube! I just spray mine with innox or silicon spray when it sounds dried out, which ever of those is closest to the bike rack! Then I ride it straight out the door...fuck it I don't even wipe it down boys. Not once ever. And...wait for it...I've had the same chain on the pivot since I built it! Check my pyr for deets because I've forgotten.
@steve jobs' pancreas just go with the flow man. You'd either have very little alternatives for how to waste time or be super retentive to need to focus on this one. Spray and ride man!

Old and hopeless
The old guy, forgotten his name now, who had the downhill shop in Ferntree Gully was selling off stuff cheap when he closed the shop. I was going to buy a bunch of his chain lube. He knew I rode motorbikes too and asked me… what lube do you run on your motorbikes? I replied ChainWax. He said, that’s what I use too, I just sell all that other stuff to the punters. He mentioned it’ll gunk up your derailleur jockey wheels, so they'll need an occasional scrub, but other than that, it’s the bees knees. I sit the can in the sun or put it on a heater to get it runny. Once on, it does not attract dirt, is unaffected by water and runs nice and quiet. Compared to pushbike lube, it’s cheap too.

I can go full Karen
When you look at the time, effort, chemicals needed for cleaning and lubes vs $30 for a new chain, the extra few ks just isn't worth it.

This is true, but the sounds of a sad chain makes baby jesus cry. I'm buying smooth and quiet running, not chain life

Not in my experience. Bike is shifting as crisp as ever! And I haven't even put any innox on recently...

Why don't you try the good old loctite and grease method and report back to us in how that goes?

Is it loctite into each roller?

Do it. Apparently slow cookers/crock pots are the go.
I use paraffin wax beads ($15 p/kg) in a metal bowl, floating in a pot of water on a portable butane stove. The wax melts at 50 degrees and the water won't get over 100 degrees so it's well below flash point.
That was me too Poods, but the better half got sick of me leaving sticky black chain marks over everything when it gets put in the back of the dual cab three times a week
Can't say for sure, but I'm up to 2700km on the original with no visual Signs of wear.
The biggest benefit I get from the effort is how clean it all stays. I can throw the thing in the boot and not worry what happens to touch it.

What's not to get, bike goes in the cab where it is safe and the passengers go in the tray.

Here you go @pink poodle a picture says a thousand words....... There's normally school bags, groceries, camp chairs and other assorted shite in front of it.
I should point out the biggest weakness of the wax is rain. It can handle a shower and general spray off the road but cop a proper soaking and it's gone.
I use it coz it's cheap, clean and it's drier than a dead dingo around here. Like 280mm rain for the year dry.

I have a special fuck you! for woolworths. I've been hitting this milk up for years and I've never realised until just now, that it's a fucking woolworths in house brand! A nice big fuck you to farmers, rather than their own product. Yes I'm sure there was a farm and farm workers (farmers even) involved in the primary production of the milk, but this branding and packaging gives the impression that it is their own work making this happen right down the chain. Fuck you woolworths.
