There's a compatibility fix. Peel the label off the bottle.

Campy may just get it packaged in smaller cans and sell if for higher prices. A large can of
motorcycle chain lube would last you ten years. But it may be that the Campy stuff is of a thinner

Try Prolink.

I've been amazed at how easy it is to use. (drip on each link, urn the crank a couple of times, let
dry and wipe off excess - I apply once a month the night before my weekly ride schedule starts.)

Keeps the drive train clean and silent.
