I agree with that completely. By adding grease, we are guaranteeing that we will over tighten them...unless you adjust the torque spec accordingly for the lubricant.I wonder if sometimes we overtighten bolts and end up making them very weak?

In most cases, following the manufacturer’s torque guidelines with a high-quality torque wrench will be sufficient. Just be aware that changing the fastener coating or lubrication may drastically change the ideal torque value.

They won't specify to use lube either(They don't specify not to ).
