DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!!!! 

When I hear the term "anti-seize compound" I think of Permatex Anti-Seize
(used on sparkplugs , exhaust manifold bolts and other high temp
applications). This is the LAST thing you want in your hydraulic system as it
uses fine metallic particles to lubricate. Using this stuff on fittings would
be like throwing a hand full of sand in the reservoir.

My (and Steve Colwell's) preferred fitting sealant is Locktite
Pneumatic/Hydraulic seal #545.
