I'm pretty intrigued by chain lube with a distinctive smell as it's calling card. I generally smell all the motor oils that I put in the household cars and I can tell various motor oils by their smell. I think Mobil 1 smells the best of all oils I have used, with Mobil Super 5000 a close 2nd.
Now gear oil, that stuff stinks like sulfur. Most cars nowadays don't have pumpkins like the old rear drivers though, so it's usually the "transaxle" you are filling with ATF. But anyway I digress. I need a sample of Chain-L to smell. I am curious.
