There is no such thing as a maintenance-free chain, they need to be kept clean and oiled on a daily basis.
i agree about the spray can chainlube products--to me they are more trouble than they are worth and make more problems than they solve.
i keep my chains oiled up and they last a long time. Plus i keep them on the slack side--chain tension set too tight accelerates wear and increases friction, too loose is better than too tight when it comes to chain tension.
