If the chain is really rusty, first replace the chain. Oil is not going
to cure a chain which has been allowed to get into a really bad state.
Then, if you're riding only in good weather on roads, use White
Lightning; otherwise, use Finish Line Cross Country. Use as little as
possible, leave ideally overnight to penetrate inside the rollers, then
wipe off any excess with a rag or kitchen paper - the outside of the
chain should be clean.
If you're doing serious mountain biking, clean and relubricate the chain
after every ride; if commuting in winter, about once a week; if
commuting in summer, about once a fortnight; if being used only in dry
weather, about once a month or once every 500 miles, whichever is less.
Both White Lightning and Finish Line Cross Country are quite expensive
but you use very little and they really do help extend the life of your
chain so it works out cheap.
