Many have, including audisport.  It happens.  Lubricant is a wet torque
specification, which means the use of it adds torque (yes Bernie, I ckd).
Wet torque is always less than dry torque.  Depending on the brand and
content of the A/S you use (they are not ALL created equal), this will
change.

Even if you decide to use A/S, retorquing of the wheels should be a standard
procedure, since the "backing" out isn't necessarily a A/S problem.
