The chain is a core component of the vehicle's transmission system. Chain oil is essential for its daily maintenance. Here are some scenarios when you should apply chain oil:
- When the transmission system makes a squeaking noise during normal operation, it indicates that the chain is too dry and needs to be lubricated with oil in a timely manner.
- When the chain is prone to jamming or falling off during shifting, the shifting performance of the bike decreases.
- After riding in the rain, it is necessary to clean the oil and sand on the chain in a timely manner to prevent the chain from rusting and corroding.
- During daily riding, it is recommended to check the chain every month or every 250 kilometers and apply oil in a timely manner.
How to choose chain oil?
It depends on the riding environment. For example, in addition to considering moisture in humid or dry environments, dust and sand also have an impact. Therefore, we recommend that after each chain cleaning, you should choose the chain oil according to the riding environment.
When it is humid and there is a lot of moisture, use an oil with a higher viscosity, because a higher viscosity makes it easier to adhere to the chain surface and form a protective film. In dry and dusty environments, use an oil with a lower viscosity so that it is less likely to pick up dust and dirt.

How to apply chain oil?
-
Step 1: Apply oil to the chain joints
Drop a drop of oil at each joint of the chain and let it penetrate into the joint. Note that the chain oil should not be applied to the top of the chain, as it is not the main contact area with the flywheel. -
Step 2: Let it sit and wipe clean
Wait for 5 minutes for the grease to fully penetrate the inside of the chain. Then turn the chain a few times and finally wipe off the excess grease with a clean rag. Remember not to apply too much oil, as this will instead attract more dust and dirt and increase the wear of the chain.
