You don't need to oil the chain that regularly, chain usually come pre-lubed, so it'll last probably a month or two before it get dry, which is when it's worth oiling them.
Don't forget that having too much oil is also a bad thing as it allow dirt to get collected and accelerate the wear and tear too, only a tiny amount is needed and wipe it clean as much as possible.
