Coming from maintenance management in heavy industry I can tell you from the equipment manufacturers training programs for mechanics that lubricants on a bolt materially reduces the torque required to achieve bolt axial load or tension dry specification. Some lubes as high as +40% reduction. In production situations downtime to repair damaged threads or a bolt head broken off by a mechanic is very expensive.
