Yes, with anti seize reduce the torque by between 14-30% for accurate
torque depending on the antiseize compound. Contact the manufacturer of
the compound for recommendation.
Lugs usually aren't too picky, but threading spark plugs or glow plugs
or injectors into an aluminum head, that 30% will make the difference
between job done and helicoil.

Next - should I use Anti-Seize on the lug bolts before I tighten and
"torque" them? There seems to be some metal to metal corrosion on them.
But I seem to recall some controversary about this --
I do it routinely and I've never had a problem. It does seem to help a
bit. I also use it on spark plugs, which is also a bit controversial.
The main problem, as I understand it, is it reduces the tightening
torque, so the factory torque spec will result in more clamping force
than intended.
