I'm pretty sure Porsche is suggesting an anti-seize and not an oil/grease on the lug bolts. Something similar to the anti-seize that's applied on spark plugs..

Yes, the Optimoly TA in the manual clip I posted. Although I used copper-based, rather than aluminum. Let the flaming begin...

Same here. Plus I insist that they hand torque, rather than use the air wrench.

I've used Permatex anti-seize for years. It's a compound of aluminum and copper. Don't know about "optimoly TA", but I get the Pematex at O'Reilly's. It's also available online.
