Moly Lube Substitute?

Hey everyone I am going to do a retorque later today, When I installed my studs I used 70w gear oil on the washers, studs, and nuts for lube because I have no ARP Moly Lube. Is that ok or do I need a different subsitute? What would everyone suggest? Thanks!

All the bolt torque specifications for engine bolts are based on using engine oil. extra-slick lubes will cause you to overtorque. and overtorqueing is no better than undertorqueing.

Pretty common to use the 122 torque using moly lube vice engine oil.
