Have searched high & low for Optimoly TA but can only find a Castrol product called Optimol TA paste on Amazon at £21. I'm assuming this is one and the same and that Optimoly was the original manufacturer taken over by Castrol. Anybody know for sure. It's for applying the wheel bolts as the 997 manual. Thanks.

Depends which nuts.... :thumb:
If we're talking nuts then you shoudn't get grease on the 'seat' the radiused bit that mates with the wheel, only the thread. The torque value is dry, if you grease it, it means nuts are tightened far in excess of the advised torque. For this very reason on centrelock wheels they do grease them with a special grease to achieve 600Nm.
If you dip bolts fair enough, but try to avoid getting grit in the tin. Much better to squeeze a blob on to what you need, or use a brush.
The tube is far more efficient, a tin you tin to use up much more.

I'm not a mechanic Pete so I can't say for sure its total application range but I can tell you:
-its perfect for wheel hubs. Stops corrosion and binding between the two different metals, especially the centre bore.
-if you have a BMW/Mini/Audi/VW its almost essential for the centre bore as they corrode so badly you struggle to get wheels off!
-it prevents binding of wheel nuts/bolts (apply to thread only not the seat)
-nuts and bolts that are exposed where other greases would melt, ie exhaust clamps and brackets etc
I've been trying to get this stuff at a decent price for ages.
