White threadlocker?

When disassembling components during my rod bearing replacement, I noticed MANY bolts that had white residue on them. Everything from suspension bolts to the bolts that hold the plastic oil pan baffle on.

I assume this is some kind of thread locking compound, but I've never seen white threadlock. Is it liquid silicone?

I'm debating using some kind of thread locking compound on some stuff, but unsure as the strength of the white compared to the traditional blue and red, or like I said if it's just some silicone. Many of the bolts I don't really think need anything. I noticed that Porsche NEVER seems to use lock washers, but instead love to use stover/lock nuts.
