AMSOIL Chain Lube
AMSOIL Chain Lube (ACLSC) is a dedicated aerosol chain lubricant for motorcycle drive chains, ATV and UTV chains, bicycle chains, and industrial roller chains. The formula penetrates into pins and bushings, then sets up to a protective coating that resists fling-off and helps shield exposed chains from heat, water, and dirt.
Penetration into pins and bushings
Chain wear starts on the load-bearing surfaces buried inside each link, not on the side plates that catch most of any over-spray. AMSOIL Chain Lube penetrates deep into the pins and bushings of chains, putting active lubricant where pin-on-bushing rotation generates friction and where roller-on-sprocket impact drives wear into hardened steel. This feeding action is what separates a true penetrating chain lubricant from a thick external film that never reaches the load surfaces.
Protective film that does not fling off
After application, Chain Lube leaves a protective coating that stays on the chain instead of spraying onto the swingarm, rear wheel, and bodywork at speed. The same film is engineered to resist holding dirt, dust, sand, and grit, which keeps abrasive particles from being driven into the pin and bushing interface. The result is consistent lubrication between service intervals and a cleaner chain run on the bike, ATV, or bicycle.
Wear and corrosion protection for outdoor service
Drive chains live in the worst environment of any lubricated component on a motorcycle: rain, road salt, off-road grit, and heat soak from the engine and exhaust. Chain Lube provides outstanding wear and corrosion protection for all types of chains and sprockets, helping protect plated link surfaces from rust and slowing chain stretch caused by pin and bushing wear. Long-term, this translates into longer chain and sprocket life on bikes and equipment that see weather and miles.
O-ring, X-ring, and Z-ring chain compatibility
Modern street and adventure motorcycles ride on O-ring, X-ring, and Z-ring sealed chains, where small rubber seals trap factory grease inside the pin and bushing joint. A solvent-aggressive lubricant can swell or harden those seals and shorten chain life. AMSOIL Chain Lube is suitable for all types of chains, including O, X, and Z roller chains found in street, off-road, and racing motorcycles, so a single can covers sealed sport-bike and adventure chains as well as unsealed dirt-bike and bicycle chains.
Fast-drying, easy application
The aerosol valve sprays a focused stream that lands on the chain instead of fogging the garage. Application is direct: shake well, clean the chain before application, apply a steady stream along the full length of the chain, and allow to dry for 15 minutes. Fast-drying chemistry sets up to a coating in that window, which limits the dirt-attraction problem common to heavy oil-and-grease chain lubes.
Recommended applications and service intervals
AMSOIL Chain Lube fits any exposed roller chain that runs in an outdoor environment. The same can covers a sealed drive chain on a daily-rider sport bike, an unsealed chain on a dirt bike, the chain on an ATV or UTV, a road or mountain bicycle chain, and roller chains on agricultural and industrial equipment.
- Street and adventure motorcycles with O-ring, X-ring, or Z-ring sealed drive chains.
- Off-road and racing motorcycles with sealed or unsealed roller chains exposed to mud, sand, salt, and water.
- ATV, UTV, and pit-bike drive chains, plus bicycle chains on road, gravel, and mountain bikes.
- Agricultural and industrial roller chains on mowers, augers, conveyors, and machine drives.
Re-apply on the service interval in the equipment owner manual, and any time the chain has been ridden in heavy rain, run through deep water, or pressure-washed. For chain selection and lubrication guidance on a specific motorcycle or ATV, see the vehicle and motorcycle oil guides linked below. Aerosols may have different disposal requirements than other wastes; dispose of contents and container in accordance with all federal, state or provincial, and local regulations.

The Lube
I’ve been using this CL for a few years now and it does its job! Most importantly too me, it doesn’t sling oil all over my bikes like the other brands. Best Lube on the market!!

Chain lube
We have used many different chain lube and this one is very easy to use. We are using it for a jr dragster and consistency is key. There is no fling off and is easy to apply with less mess for quick application. Keeps car consistent

Chain lube
I use the chan lube on a roller chain on equipment as well as kids dirt bikes . It seems to lubricate fine but we notice it seems to hold dirt to a degree .

Frequently asked questions
Is AMSOIL Chain Lube safe for O-ring, X-ring, and Z-ring chains?
Yes. Chain Lube is suitable for all types of chains, including O, X, and Z roller chains found in street, off-road, and racing motorcycles. The formula is designed to lubricate the chain without harming the small rubber seals that hold the factory grease inside the pin and bushing joint.
How often should a motorcycle chain be lubed?
Follow the service interval in the motorcycle, ATV, or bicycle owner manual. As a working rule, re-apply Chain Lube whenever the chain looks dry, after riding in heavy rain or off-road mud, after exposure to road salt, or after the chain has been pressure-washed. Sealed motorcycle chains generally need lubrication more often than bicycle chains because of higher loads and longer continuous ride times.
How is Chain Lube applied to a motorcycle chain?
Shake the can well. Clean the chain before lubricating to remove old residue and grit. Apply a steady stream along the full length of the chain, rotating the wheel so every link is coated. Allow to dry for 15 minutes before riding. A short dry time before the first miles helps the protective film bond to the chain rather than migrating onto the rear wheel.
Will Chain Lube fling off onto the rear wheel?
No. Chain Lube leaves a protective coating that will not fling off or attract dirt, dust, sand, or grit. Cleaning the chain before application and allowing the full 15-minute dry time before riding helps the film stay where it was applied instead of throwing onto the rear wheel and bodywork.
Can Chain Lube be used on bicycle and industrial chains?
Yes. Beyond motorcycle service, Chain Lube is excellent for bicycle, agricultural, and industrial roller chain applications. The same can covers a road or mountain bike chain, a pit-bike chain, and roller chains on mowers, augers, conveyors, and other equipment with an exposed chain run.
What is the difference between chain lube and chain wax?
Chain wax sets up to a hard, dry film that sheds water but can build up between links and require frequent stripping. AMSOIL Chain Lube is a penetrating aerosol that flows into pins and bushings before drying to a film that does not fling off, which targets internal wear surfaces while resisting throw-off at speed. Chain Lube is the right choice when deep penetration into pins and bushings is the priority over a fully dry external coating.
What sizes does AMSOIL Chain Lube come in?
AMSOIL Chain Lube ships in a 4.5 oz. spray can for individual riders and an 11 oz. spray can for shop and high-mileage rider use. Case packs are available for fleet, dealer, and shop service settings: a case of twelve 4.5 oz. cans and a case of six 11 oz. cans.
