If I didn't have a scottoiler then I'd use normal chain lube.
As for chain oil not being safe with Orings, most chain lubes are Oring safe, says it on the tin if so.

Its not a solid wax, its a spray on aerosol which penetrates the chain.
Then the solvent evaporates leaving the wax.
I'm a big fan of the wurth high performance dry chain lube. My chain needed virtually no adjustment using that regularly. When the can ran out, I bought Motrax gold wax which was thick and gunky. The chain started needing regular adjustment so I cleaned the thick gunk off, and the chain was rusty underneath!
At my last service they told me I need a new chain and sprocket set because its shagged (11k).
I've gone back to wurth dry lube now, or fresh engine oil.
I had read that the waxes can get grit stuck to them which makes a grinding paste - but i think you'd always get that to some degree.
