Default Flywheel Bolts - install dry, with light oil or anti-seize?

The new rear main seal is in and I am installing the flywheel with new bolts.
Work shop manual does not call out installing the bolts dry, with light oil or anti-seize?

What have others done?

Thanks,

I just put mine in dry and torqued to spec. Just be careful that #@$@#$ triple square POS is so easy to get off-center and mess the tool and/or the bolt up, especially when working in those relatively tight quarters.

Never install any fastener dry. Lubricate with the appropriate anti sieze or loctite.

Unless otherwise specified, light oil on all threads. I usually substitute anti-seize for "light oil".

Some blue loctite will give peace of mind.

I'll put in some bolts dry. Just depends. Most do get antiseize or loctite.

Light oil. Be careful with Loctite. It tends to flow between the flywheel and the crankshaft, hardening there, keeping the two from touching. I never use Loctite in this application, because of this.

Thanks for all the recommendations.
I am going to use just a bit of light oil.
