lugnuts

I rotated my tires yesterday and I noticed the lugnut threads were treated. It was a very dry and crumbly white substance, caked on like it was powder... and it's about 15,000mi old. It seems to me the dealership used anti-seize or low-strength threadlocker. I've always heard you shouldn't use...
