Re: Fastener torque with different lubricants?

[frankr]

I’d say that if the factory said to use something like their Gasket Sealer, the torque they specify assumes you are using what they said. Now, if you are going to go off on your own and use Teflon or something, you might be getting into uncharted territory. Besides, that stuff might make the fastener subject to loosening because of lack of friction. I don’t know, that’s why I don’t use it unless specified.
