Motul Multi HF as LDS?

Unread post by yoseff »

Just got 1 liter of Multi HF from Motul , as i like to have some at hand , and today i was going to put a bit on the MK1 2.0 Hdi C5 to top up the level. In specifications is says Synth and Citroen LDS , but when i was pouring into the tank IT WAS GREEN :shock:
Stopped immediately , thinking it could be mislabeled LHM , but on the pdf data that i got from Motul , it states that is green (Less bad - not a mislabeled can)
I know that Citroen LDS is "The way to go" , but what's your thoughs on this one? They state that is has the required specs for Citro LDS... Could that be mixed with LDS?
If i saw a C5 filled with that color in the LDS tank , i'd be panicking :rofl2:
Here's from their website:https://www.motul.com/ca/en-US/products/multi-hf

Yup, your totally right. Ill leave that in the trunk for an emergency (as that one should be better than no LDS) , but will get some from Total

On top of that, they didn't even care to put the right color on it :rofl2:

I'm not very keen on these one oil for every car under the sun types of stuff to be honest and the colour is a def no no for me as it could encourage less knowledgeable mechanics to put in green LHM fluid or worse instead. Then you will be totally bu**ered.
