Okay I was not aware of this... Somehow I though Porsche changed recommendation from lube to dry.
I lubed lug bolts for the last 3 decades with all other cars I owned and maintained, mainly Europeans incl. 914 and 3 generations of SAABs, with no issues. It is rather recentlly for the last 2 years of my Boxster ownership that I just clean bolts with a wire brush and dry-torque, assuming the 96 ft-lb spec based on dry especially as it seems relatively higher than typical 80 ft-lb spec. with other OEM's in my experience. I daily drive mine through MI winter and no corrosion issues when I change wheels/ tires twice a year.
Anyway I guess I'd go back to lube if that's what the P-doctor orders.
