Snowblower auger chain question

[oldafretired]

Just got some Dupont teflon chain lube.

Thanks again for all the advice!

I have had good luck with Fluid Film.

My Puma snow blower came the same way, with the chain painted bright red. I just lube it up regularly and no issues. Much of the paint wears off with use. I suppose the paint helps prevent rust during transit /storage from the factory. Just be sure to lube it well before using it for the first time.
