Different for different years. Check FSM rear axle (RAX) documentation. My 2011 FSM says 100-105 Nm for the wheel hub lock nut. I think some years call for something in the 80-85 Nm range - I don't remember exactly.

I would say that's not a big deal, but I probably wouldn't bother. He makes a good point that the splines aren't supposed to be moving at that location. The proper % moly lube (really should be more of a paste) is fine, too.
