Haldex oil....Anyone Tried This Make ?

Hi all
Just looking to buy some oil for my Haldex ( Freelander 2 2010 TD4 ).
Has anyone used Febi / Bilstein 101 171
https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/febi-bilstein-12827768.html
It seems wayyyyyyy cheaper than anything else out there
It dosen't state suitable for Landrover makes, but lists Volvo ( amongst other makes ).
As all the Haldex units fitted to various makes of car are manufactured by the same enterprise, with I believe the only difference being the "mapping" of the control unit, does it matter?
Any thoughts or insights welcome
I know the old addage about if its cheap.......it probably is...........but at nearly half the price, and with .85l in the container, its just enough to do the job.

Like I've said, it's a good oil and I will be using it at next service.
I don't know of anybody who has been used it to have any problem up until now.

It would appear that they have raised the price since I first checked the link! Regardless, an excellent price for a litre!
