Default Where to find copper grease?

I'm about to replace my clutch slave cylinder and my Bently manual is telling me to use a type of grease I've never heard of. It says to lightly coat the contact surface of the plunger with copper grease, e.g. Z 381 351 TE.

I've checked some of the local parts stores, but can't find the stuff. Does it go by a different name? I'd hate to order something so small online if I don't have to.

Good find, thanks!

I just looked it up and there's a Napa a few towns over that has it. Kind of expensive though. I'll ask if they have smaller quantities of it, but I doubt it. Anywhere else that might?

I may just use the regular anti-seize too. I wonder what copper grease would do that regular anti-seize wouldn't.

you can use it on any bolt you replace on your car. it really helps keep the metal from rusting quickly. also it won't go bad if you keep it inside

I use that stuff on anything I can. I love it. I don't see why it wouldn't work on the slave cylinder. Guess I was just being overly cautious.
