RE: OIL TYPE FOR CHAIN DRIVE
most modern chain lubricants nowadays are ester based and are available in a range of viscosities, some contain a diluent that helps in getting it where you want it and then evaporates.
there are various lubricant suppliers that offer a range of specialised chain oils and you would be best served to contact them for advice on this specific application.
another important aspect to consider is the way the lubricant is applied. incidentally it can be applied by a brush, but systems that supply a small amount of lubricant by spraying or brushing usually can prolong chain life considerably.

Just for future reference, there is a type of roller chain called "o-ring chain" that would be a better choice for this type of application. The pin joints are grease-lubed/sealed and require no maintenance.
RE: OIL TYPE FOR CHAIN DRIVE
My opinion is that O-ring chain will not be of benefit in this application because only the pin and i.d. of bushing have a sealed lubricant.
Diamond Chain makes a product known as Dura Lube Chain. I do not think it is available in as large of a pitch as shown in the picture, however.
The vertical bushing makes it difficult to keep lubricant in position. Also, limited roller rotation on the bushing means that the lubricant is not distributed.
For this application a roller pinion drive would be a better arrangement.
