Castrol Optimol Paste TA for center locks
Searched and found nothing. Anyone know anywhere in Canada I can order a tube of Castrol paste for centre lock wheels. I asked my parts guy a Porsche and he said about $100 bucks for a tube...

Porsche dealers only, I couldn't find an alternate source and I worked for the Canadian distributor of Castrol.

The product name is changed for Molub-Alloy paste White T, try Wakefield Canada at, 3620 Lakeshore Blvd in Toronto ...
You can also purchase some on Ebay, but it comes from the UK

Thank you everyone. I never thought about Suncoast. I'll Give Wakefield a try as they are in Canada. If not, I see Suncoast ships to Canada as well.
Thanks guys.

I picked it up from a Porsche dealer in Toronto for $41 w the PCA discount. $100 seems crazy. I have heard that the stuff BMW Motorad is the same but I haven't tried it. I didn't think I could get the stuff from Suncoast shipped up here..?

I've been trying to figure out what is so special about the Castrol Molub-Alloy Paste TA?
Isn't this just a high temp anti-seize compound? Could I not use any other brand?
I've d/l the spec sheet and don't see anything unusual about this.

IIRC it was about $55 from the Downtown Porsche here in Toronto. I didn't feel comfortable guessing at what might be a suitable substitute...

Slightly better max temp rating vs Loctite Silver Anti Seize and holds up better against water. I use a thin coating of Loctite 8009 anti seize on center locks. Either product you don't want to be slathering handfuls of it on, just a thin coating. The most important part is following the correct torque sequence.

It just frustrates me when some of these petro-chemo guys comes out with their secret miracle grease but the specs don't show anything unique. This at least lets me make an informed decision.
