I was under the impression that the greenish coating acted similar to a loctite.

If it is loctite, then it would still have some lubricating properties during installation. So if thats the case,then i guess the oiling the threads wont affect the corect torque value, but i should use a thread locker instead of oil, as gelbster suggests.

Im probably overthinking this. Guess i have too much time on my hands.
