~12 years ago, I coated the lug-bolts and threads with a light layer of grease (not oil, I believe it's Lithium grease). I've done it once or twice since then b/c I'm in a snow/salt zone. There's still no rust and the bolts come off very nicely after loosening them. The tire-scientists love to overtighten them and like someone posted...you have to stand on the wrench.(...or wait for a passerby as I have done once).
Mind you. It's a light coating to discourage rust...not to encourage loosening of the bolt while driving! This is what I've done & it works great for me....especially when changing a tire in the winter.
