Probably this
A non-o-ring chain is very important to have proper lube. Otherwise the chain super heats, can warp or stretch prematurly.
O-ring chains you are mostly chasing surface rust. The most important thing on the o-ring chains is to keep dirt out of the o-rings. So cleaning is PRIMARY. If you don't keep dirt out of the rings, the dirt chews up the ring, then the packed grease flings out and poof... no more grease. but the o-ring is still there preventing you from properly greasing where you need to.
