Substitute for hub paste A0009897651

Is there a good substitute for this paste (grease)? It's specified in a number of M-B uses, one of which is the wheel to hub interface. Hard to find online due to hazardous shipping. I don't want to buy a large container from the dealer. There doesn't seem to be a small tube or packet available.

What is a good substitute? Thanks.

For hub to rotor and wheel to rotor contact surfaces, I use antiseize. A thin layer is enough and I keep it away from the threads for the wheel bolts. Not sure of the other applications for the MB branded lubricant, antiseize may not be a good replacement for those.

Thanks. I did some more digging and this seems to be Castrol Optimol. Porsche calls it Optimoly. Looks like it can be sourced from Pelican Parts: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...=Shopping+Feed
