So many opposing arguments on the web and about this. New shimano chain: comes with factory lube. Leave on? Leave on but degrease outer chain? Fully degrease entire chain and re/lube by submerging in melted candle wax at midnight upon a ley-line?
Did this ever get sorted out? I’m in the UK, so dust/heat really not an issue. More mud/wet/road salt etc

I always fully degrease new chains because the factory lube is super sticky and soon turns into a mess.
My chains seem to last a decent amount of time too, so I'll keep on doing so.

Mine don't seem to come in that sticky lube any more. Anyone else noticed that?

No more Shimano green grease? What is the world coming to?
