Is it Citroen suspension oil that's identical to it, but cheaper?

Yep. I bought a litre for £3, and its running in my brakes fine.

LHM+ is what I used on numerous sets of Shimano's - all fine. £4 for one litre, rather than over £4 for 50ml of genuine Shimano stuff.

LHM+ is the same stuff, I got Motul LHM oil which was more expensive than Halfods stuff but has a higher boiling point

Currently using some LHM which works most brilliantly along with a good bleed.
Have also used Jack oil, and 3 in 1 when slightly stuck and needed to ride.
