The "old way" of lubricating a chain was to use heavy greese and heat it in a doubble boiler pan set.
When at 212F the grease is thin so the chain is dropped in , and the pan set removed from the heat.
When cool the chain is removed (with the melted grease in place between the chains working surfaces) and lightly wiped to prevent dust from sticking to the outside of the chain.
Modern chain might not need this treatment , but lots of old steering chain might.
