Product Information

Full details

Carlube LHM+ is a high-performance mineral oil fluid engineered for specialized hydraulic, braking, and hydro-pneumatic suspension systems in specific vehicles such as Citroen, Rolls Royce, Peugeot, and Jaguar. It provides critical protection against wear, corrosion, and oxidation while maintaining excellent fluidity in cold temperatures; however, it is strictly non-compatible with synthetic fluids like DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 and requires careful attention to manufacturer specifications to avoid system failure.

FAQs

Can I use this fluid in a standard DOT 4 braking system?

No. This is a mineral-based fluid and is strictly incompatible with synthetic DOT 3, 4, or 5.1 systems.

Is this safe to mix with other brands of LHM fluid?

Yes, as long as the other fluid is a standard mineral-based LHM+ fluid, it is generally safe to mix.

How do I know if my car needs LHM fluid?

Check your vehicle owner's manual or look for an LHM reservoir cap in the engine bay, which is often green in compatible vehicles.

Does this fluid degrade over time?

Like all automotive fluids, it can lose its performance characteristics over time. Follow the recommended change intervals in your vehicle's maintenance schedule.

Can I use this for power steering?

Only if your specific vehicle manufacturer explicitly lists LHM+ as the required power steering fluid.

Troubleshooting

Spongy brake pedal or erratic suspension height

The system may have air pockets or the fluid level may be low. Bleed the hydraulic system according to the vehicle service manual and check for leaks.

Accidental mixing with DOT 4 fluid

Do not operate the vehicle. The system must be fully drained, flushed with an appropriate system cleaner, and refilled with the correct mineral fluid to prevent permanent seal damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior anti-wear protection for expensive hydraulic parts
  • Excellent performance in extreme cold environments
  • Inhibits rust and internal corrosion within the hydraulic system
  • Prevents fluid breakdown and oxidation

Cons

  • Incompatible with standard DOT synthetic brake fluids
  • Cannot be mixed with vegetable-based hydraulic fluids
  • Requires specific vehicle compatibility checks before use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before adding or flushing, verify your vehicle handbook to ensure the manufacturer specifically mandates a mineral-based LHM fluid. Never pour this into a reservoir designed for standard synthetic brake fluids, as the chemical compositions will react negatively, damaging seals and lines. Always work in a clean environment to prevent contaminants from entering the hydraulic reservoir. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
