I'm putting back my ES-70 bottom bracket & XT crankset back onto my bike right now, with this webpage as a reference...

It says...
Steel bottom bracket frame shells with aluminum or steel lockrings, use a thread locking compound such as Loctite® #242.
If the bottom bracket frame shell is aluminum or titanium, use anti-seize compound... ... Grease can be used in place of anti-seize,...
Having read this & not knowing what my BB is made of, I don't know whether I'm supposed to apply LocTite (I have blue) or to apply grease (I have Finish Line, and I have no anti-seize handy) in the BB cup threads...???
Thanks for the info in advance,
