Based on the recent test data of their lube, I would just get their lube.

i would definitely just buy the lube. i saw a video about ARP lube compared to motor oil and anti seize as far as torque cycles etc. motor oil and anti sieze needed multiple cycles to get to the correct torque even when the torque wrench clicked. the ARP lube hit the desired torque on the external gauge right when the wrench clicked.

That's funny... my head studs didn't specify that the lube was included so I bought a bottle of their lube with the studs. Sure enough when I opened the box there was a package of lube included!

I'm glad I read this... if not I would have assumed that any ARP fasteners I purchase would automatically have the lube included! ARP should be clear as to what's included with what.
