While I use antiseize on just about everything, I've never seen the need to use it on oil pan bolts - there tends to be enough oil seepage to keep a film of oil on the threads. Just my opinion.

Me too. I put antiseize, loctite, thread sealant, or ARP lube on everything. ..except pan bolts. Ive actually never even thought about it before now. Weird, good question.
