NO o-ring chain is truly lifetime sealed..The main purpose of the o-ring is to "try" to seal grease between the links, cut down on metal to metal wear of the plates as an isolator versus non o-ring chains. You still have to lube the roller sides and o-ring area same as a non o-ring chain. There are newer specific lubes,waxes out for o-ring chains,but never could say they were any better than Belray,Silkolene,PJ1,Maxima or any other good quality chain lube.Just like oil brands,up to the individual user as to what they think works best for them.Cleaning is important. Kereose is still the cleaner of choice by many although it may weaken some brands of o-rings, but I haven't seen much proof of that over the years.

That's Belray. About as good as it gets imo and foamed out slowly and soaked in. Let it dry a while before use and you wont have as much sling off. How To Apply Bel-Ray Chain Lube | Bel-Ray Company, Inc

Got the half back today from the shop, it is welded up nice and looks good. Also received the rebuild kit today and was pleasantly surprised to find all the bearings are Japan made, and the numbers match perfectly the OEM. So I am hoping it is a
good quality kit and will last longer than the bike.
