chain maintenance per DID

i recently purchased a DID chain for my F4i.  i have done alot of searching on here and it seems everyone likes do do something different with their chain, so i e-mailed DID to see how they, the manufacturer, suggest to clean and lube it. here is their response:
 
 
Hello Miles,
 
Thank you for your email.
In reply to your inquiry, we have been telling DID users to clean their chain with a soft cloth, dampened with kerosene and lube with 80 to 90 weight oil every 200-300 miles.
 
Should you have further questions, please let us know at anytime.
 
Have a nice day.

well  i looked all around here trying to find how to take care of my chain and everyone seems to do something different.  they clean with kerosene, wd-40, green cleaner, or chain cleaner and then lube with WD-40, chain wax, chain lube, or gear oil.  i don't want to get into another argument over how to take care of a chain, i just wanted to let everyone know what the manufacturer reccomends

wow...there's a portland in TN! that's amazing!

I think the only bad thing that people do is use the wd40. Its not the right type of lubricant, too runny, just wrong.
Also, What I think is the easiest, use a commercial chain lube, and you will be alright.

Wait, what about urine? I hear it's very sterile so that's what I use. /shrug
