Depends which 8100 5W-30. Eco-nergy is a very light 30 grade coming in at 10.0 cSt's at 100C with older API SL levels of anti-wear additives, and a fairly robust HTHS of 3.4.

X-clean meets ACEA C3 so it has low GF5-like levels of phosphorus, a slightly higher HTHS of 3.5, and a much higher viscosity of 12.0 at 100C (so it's just under a 40 grade).
