When you buy chain, it's already heavily lubricated, but mostly with a heavier grease-type lube. I'm pretty sure an over-designed (too big, like #35) chain would last for hundreds of hours without ever lubricating it.
But is hundreds of hours enough? And the other thing is, the minute someone decides to clean the chain by soaking it, all bets are off. Chains like to be dirty.
