Torque Specification question

[tshirttom]

The torque specifications in the owners manual..Are they meant for dry or lightly oiled fasteners? I usually hate putting a dry fastener on and also always use never-seize or some lube. I am sure this affects the torque valves, but in a quantifiable manner? . Any mechanic or engineer want to weigh in on this please?

I believe those are dry specs

Will using a long extension on the torque wrench affect the result at all?

Nope - only if you use a crowfoot wrench/socket on the end whose center is offset from the axis of the extension.
