Dear B.B.,
Hope you're well and stay so. I've no doubt you accurately report advice from ATE tech support. But I fear "a light coat of oil" will not last. Brake rotors get warm often and occasionally get hot. Nickel-based anti-seize is good to 2,400°F.
The ATE technicians advise against anti-seize, because they fear - correctly - that most will apply far too much anti-seize.
A thick layer will surely prevent the rotor from mating perfectly with the hub's face. No good comes from that. But an even and very thin coating of anti-seize, carefully applied, should not cause such misalignment.
Stay well!!
Yours faithfully,
Spook
