Anti Sieze Torque Values

[Richard D]

On my 1994 Maxima GXE, I am getting to the end of my project to replace fuel injectors, as well as new hoses and a rack to stop leaks in power steering, and replace both axles and CV joints.
There are a couple of torque values that are important. The large axle nuts come to mind first, and maybe the ball joint and outer tie rod nuts. The nuts are NOT castle nuts like I used to see on my cars, where the cotter pin fits in a recess that prevents the nut from turning and coming loose.
[ BTW Why did they stop using those.... seemed like an excellent idea.]

I can't seem to find clear advice about using anti-sieze on these nuts. (OK... the wheel lug nuts too)
Does anti-sieze reduce or not affect the factory manual recommended torque values ("Increase" is not a possible answer.)

Thanks.... and thank you to all you very experienced or professional mechanics who post and share their knowledge here !

Have you been using the FSM? They list all torque values. And my 2 cents = we don't use anti seize on any of those nuts. I was taught in school that adding lubrication does effect torque values, and that being the case, should not be added unless another value specifically given with lubricant is specified. Again, just my experience. Best of luck to you.
