And failure to use anti-seize can (under some conditions of climate, road 
treatment, and/or phase of the moon) virtually prevent _intentional_ 
removal of lug bolts without use of an impact wrench.  If you do not use 
anti-seize you may find that the bolts will need to be retorqued after 
driving a few miles.  The anti- seize permits application of the proper 
torque to the lug bolts on the first attempt.  BTDT.
