anti-seize!

Great stuff. Always use it on the O2 sensor and any nuts and bolts anywhere on the exhaust system. Starting to take off my exhaust manifold/turbo tonight because I blew out a gasket between the two. Haven't touched the nuts for the exhaust manifold studs in over three years and the nuts came loose like butta

It's God's gift to rusty bolts and nuts.

I use it on pretty much everything, steel and aluminum is a bad combo.

Whoooooooooow there, I wouldn't put anti-seize on the lug nuts...wouldn't want those flying off at 80mph. No offence. Anti-seize is some good sh*t, but I think they make some anti-seeze gold or something, someone told about it. Here's the only anti-seize gold stuff I could find:

I see anti seize on customers cars all the time. No harm. It is just a PITA because it is messy.

anti sieze has nothing to do with holding power, its there to provide a layer of corrosion resitance to keep things from rusting together.

Doesnt that change what torque value you have to tighten it down to?

Putting lubricants of any kind on bolts/studs does change the torque value needed, the exact number, I do not know. I think its part of the reason Nissan(and other manufaturers) give a torque range, based on if you lubricate the bolts or not. Just an idea, not fact.

well, it is not as much of a lube as a chorosion preventor. oil on bolts can create a false tq reading though, what I mean is you can over torque a bolt with a tq wrench if the threads are all oily.

Here ya go you should always use the right lube on a stud or bolt for the right torque reading. Galling in not your friend and plays hell with torque readings.

ok if your talking about tourque specs for lug nuts, the resistance yoru seeing is from the nut pushing on the wheel. NOT from the friction of the nut and stud. so putting lube, anti sieze or whatever you want to on the nuts isn't gonna change any spec for torque. it's just common sense

No it's from the friction between the nut and the wheel or washer or whatever it's tighting againist. Think about it. It ain't no rocket sience. And there is some serious friction happining with the threads to if there not lubed right.

Just changed out spark plugs yesterday. Didn't use any anti-sieze. Going to track today. Will I be OK until Monday?
