That is obviously a statement from someone who has never tried my suggestion.
I came to the end of my bottle of finish line wet and filled it up with the said 10/40 motor oil.
Guess what, my chain runs quieter than it ever has and picks up less dirt than the finish line ever did.
1 litre of motor oil will last you forever even if like me you religiously clean and lube your chain after ever ride.
Interesting, my first reaction was to agree with Gavin (he beat me to it) but having read your reply...I may give it a go.
You would just assume that Motor lube is more liquid than cycle lube and would fly all over the place (legs, frame brakes).
but if you say it dosen't then i may try it out too..
Not sure why it's now "illegal" to use WD40, I used it on every bike, motor bike, car and "metal object that needed lubing", for my entire childhood/yoof with no poor side effects.
when teflon came out it seemed to just smell different, now wet or dry lube has a "new" improved smell, but still looks an awful lot like lube.
My workshop now smells better than my bathroom!!
