I use the green loctite instead of oil because :
1.It has some lubricity when you do the initial install/torque
2.10nM is insufficient to avoid the fastener backing out with heat-cycling/vibration
3.Consistent clamping force is essential to prevent warpage(like sump plate) and weepage(cam covers)
4.It is easier to remove than blue/red.
In critical locations s/s studs+red loctite with s/s nuts+green are a better solution.
