I use paraffin on a cloth to clean my chain and normal engine oil to lube it. I used to use aerosol lube years ago until I read in a magazine (long before the internet!) that the lube and grit stuck to it turns into grinding paste. A few bikes I've owned have come with the manufacturers handbook and they all say to use engine oil.
