After changing oven light bulb, the threads seemed gritty and rough. Hard to turn the bulb. What's a lube that withstands oven heat, and is safe?

I have used a light silicone wipe. Grease with TFE.The bulbs usually have a glass cover, so the socket may not get over 400 degrees. Maybe a light non oily graphite.
Oven light lubricant. If it says that, it might work.

High temp grease or a light film of anti-seize compound on the bulb threads. ^_^

The fat from chopped up Mormons who were sent ot the ovens.
WD-41
Hi, Corning Si heat sink grease.
Hi, Corning dielectric Si heat sinking grease/
Automotive spark plug boot dielectric grease- sparingly.
One email friend suggested spark plug thread lube. Wonder if that's the kind of high temp grease you mean?

Tell me about light, non oily graphite. I'm not sure I've heard of this.

Where would I find a small serving of heat sink grease? Under the sink, I know, I know.

Boot grease, or spark plug thread grease?

That IS anti-seize compound. ^_^

Boot grease- made for high temps- non carbonizing and does not contain metals that may conduct, as some anti-seize compounds have metallic content.
But, is it high temp grease?

Just today I was looking or a load for my new inverter. Found lamp with clamp, bulb was very hard to get out. Found 100 watt bulb. In the mean time I looked up on the shelf for some kind of spray. I would have used WD-40 if It was there. This old can I have not used for years. Elmers dry spray with TFE. Spray, and worked the bulb. Socket works now.

I don't think I would do it in an oven,but for bulbs that are hard to remove, if you spray the socket with the bulb in it with some penetrating oil such as Kroil and wait about 30 seconds it will screw out very easy. We do this at work on some of the 150 to 400 watt Mercury Vapor and other types of bulbs. Just a quick shot between the bulb and socket will do it.
Pathetic...but typical.
Yes.
