When you add any lubricant you reduce the surface friction, which allows you to put more preload in the fastener (stretch) before the wrench clicks. Think about it like this-- which would click sooner, a torque wrench on a lubed bolt/nut or a rusty one? Of course the rusty one has more resistance and will click sooner with the bolt elongated less.
So with lubrication. . . LESS torque than specified. For lug bolts, which are 10,9 property-class and there are FIVE of them- I would stick with 94 ft/pounds and call it cool.
