    I simply removed every pin from my chain and used 58 KMC Quicklinks to put it back together. I can now remove every part and individually lube it.

    So says Sandy "Sheldon" balls :lol:

    Yes, you're missing something. All lube turns black when it's used.
    No, you haven't used the wrong lube. Obsessing about it is wrong though.
