Lubrication ( alone) will *never* cause loosening of bolts that would otherwise remain tight if unlubed.
Something else was the cause.....

EDIT:
Possible scenario:
Overtorqued to 165 ft-lbs....plastic region deformation of material, and loosening because of *this*...not if torqued to proper spec and lube was applied.
(Caveat....lubed torque is usually 60-70% of dry torque, if spec calls out "dry".)
