From the owners manual...
(But to be honest, I never follow this instruction and always install bone dry  ).

I've always used a bit of anti seize. Particularly with alloy lug nuts...

Anti seize on threads.......just feel like that is what will give proper torque values and fully develop fastener strength.
Tom what do you think that note means???

Me too, just be sure to not over torque.

If you over torque because you use grease or something like anti seize you can have a severe problem, because you wheels fly off.

In all my years of driving, and especially racing (which means taking wheels off and putting them back on hundreds of times), I’ve never used anything on the threads, other than making sure they were clean. The end result? I’ve never had any problems.

I think the latest factory recommendation is not to apply anything. I used anti-seize for the last 30 years for all cars I maintained and no issues, but now I just use a wire brush to clean the thread. I do use anti-seize between alum wheel and steel rotor to prevent corrosion and sticking from experience.

My Dad was an aerospace engineer and dry threads were verboten around our house. Every threaded fitting had a light lube or anti-seize to get the proper stretch at torque spec.

Sewing machine oil or gun lube. Very light weight oil. But then I don't have to deal with rust.

Ti Stud conversion torque lubricated
If the original torque spec is 130 Nm lubricated (anti seize) and one has titanium studs with a recommended torque reduction factor for lubricant (anti seize), should this factor be applied? Is this not doubling the friction factor, torque reduction?
I suppose it all come down to whether the Porsche spec is actually lubricated as indicated by the manual below.
Should one (me) lower the factory 130 Nm for my new antiseized Ti hardware given what is wrtitten?
