that you shouldn't do that because it lubricates the stud and nut
and will throw off your torque values. (i.e. the torque wrench says
100lb-ft, but maybe you're "really" torquing them down to 120...) ???

if its use a closed end lug yeah ( if you glop the anti sieze compound on
it. a little goes a long way.) all you need is enough to coat the threads.
ive seen peoople slop it on like its cream cheeze on a bagel.
