that looks like the stuff I've used before.
It does work but is a bit thicker than the Shimano stuff. Not sure if it makes any difference in practice other than it seems a little more tricky to get a decent bleed in cold weather.

To be honest I would just stick with the Shimano as CRC are doing 1L bottles for a fantastic price at the moment: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=5620&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_name=UnitedKingdom

I've used citroen LHM many times on some XT brakes with no issues at all.
