Using non-arp moly lube for head studs?

From what I can tell ARP no longer sales their moly lube for head studs. Can I just use a moly lube from autozone? Like the engine or camshaft assembly moly lube and then torque it to arp moly lube's recommendation? Thanks for any help.

And don't forget the thread sealer for the bottom of the studs, since they're in water passages...

Yeah I saw that on summit as well but I noticed it wasn't moly. So I didn't know if I used the same torque with that lubricant as moly. I'll call ARP if nobody knows that. Thanks for the article by the way.

For the end of the stud that penetrates the water jackets, I have always used Permatex High Tack:
