If you lube the threads, you need to torque them lower. Otherwise you will add more tension than intended, possible deforming the bolts permanently or even breaking them.
I think you’re right. It’s been a few years and I don’t need a car where I’ve been living. Thanks.
They’re probably fine for lug bolts at least, the studs are big enough an extra 10-20 ft-lbs would still be in a safe range. If they haven’t broken a stud in 25 years, it’s probably never going to happen.
