Torque values with and without lubricant?

Speaking of loctite, was reading it's good for two years unopened, one year once opened-never knew.

I never knew this either. Though I imagine that storage conditions have some bearing on how long it will last.

I know I've used the Permatex brand stuff that's a lot older than that without any ill effects. Maybe it's still fine as long as it's still liquid?
