It was also specified in my Stag owner's manual, along with a Stanpart number :
413317.
However, like Ed, I've been using the silver anti-seize, Permatex #133A which

Got mine at Pep Boys (a west coast discount auto parts chain).
I use a small flux brush to apply it and make sure the splines, threads and
mating cones are completely covered.
(Found a bag of 36 on sale at HF for $2.50.)
