In the video (2017 I believe) where he had shared the Wax & Oil mix, I remember he had mentioned that oil was used to make the mix thinner so more could get inside the chain links, so I was kind of confused after reading his response.
Anyways, it seems like the 10:1 Wax & PTFE mix works just fine.
From memory the paraffin oil was used to soften the wax so it wouldnt just crumble and fall off the chain. That is what the knife blades test was, where he scraped the wax back with his thumb nail.
