Too much oil?

[Markymark]

Around monthly I degrease my chain, wipe off all the crud then add some oil.

When I had an issue in my LBS they said, nicely, that my bike had WAY too much oil.

Is this beuase I am using too much oil, doing it too frequently, doing it incorrectly or are they exaggerating?

After oiling, take some time to wipe off the excess 'cos the excess oil attracts crud and can wear your chain and sprockets out faster.
