What oil have you used?

Years ago I bought an 89 turbo that had chain noise at start-up. Changed the oil to M1 and drove the crap out of it,chain noise disappeared after about a month. That car now has about 375k on it and the chain is quiet and has never been replaced.
I have torn down a lot of the b235 & b205 engines and they all have major wear on the guides and the lower sprocket, and the BS chain and all hardware is trash. If your car has the usual oil leak at the head/timing cover, I would redo the whole thing with a t-chain kit- all new every thing under that t-cover. Won't be cheap but it will be smooth and quiet.
Rolling in a new chain never made sense to me, the lower sprocket is usually trashed.
