Great reference but I doubt many will read that manual.

There is a quick & smart solution.
On which fasteners on the M96 would the correct grade of Loctite be harmful/problematic ? Answer -None.
So just understand the 3 basic types of Loctite and you are done.

That is why Porsche used MEC bolts ?

If you want to upgrade the fastners -use stainless+loctite -cheap and easy to find.
Oiled fasteners - at the low torque specified, how are you going to prevent them backing-out with vibration and heat-cycling ? Answer,you can't.
Lubricated fasteners in steel+steel situations - great -see ARP.
Hope this clarifies it.
