Default Optimoly HT substitute?

Nobody around me seems to have copper anti-sieze. Is there another good substitute for the Optimoly HT?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt,

When copper-based anti-seize is called for, I use 3M Brake Lube & Anti-Seize. It's good where steel meets steel - threaded connections, oxygen sensors, through-bolts, etc.

I purchased it at the local NAPA auto parts store.

FYI - Copper-based anti-seize should not be used on dissimilar metals as corrosion may occur (e.g. steel to aluminum).

On exhaust fasteners, I use nickel-based anti-seize (very high-temp).

Default I used Loctite Copper Anti-Seize Lubricant...

where Optimoly HT is called for (at least until my 928 was caught in a flash flood and totaled last month). I bought a one pound or so brush-top can of it somewhere (practically a lifetime supply) but you can get an 8 oz container at amazon.com for $11.

cheers
