I have the following Lock statement:

private readonly object ownerLock_ = new object();

lock (ownerLock_)
{
}

Should I use volatile keyword for my lock variable?

private readonly volatile object ownerLock_ = new object();

On MSDN I saw that it usually used for a field that is accessed without locking, so if I use Lock I don't need to use volatile?

From MSDN:

The volatile modifier is usually used for a field that is accessed by multiple threads without using the lock statement to serialize access.
