Help to choose on synth oils on FDM

Hi there,
I wanna choose between these to oils (and not to debate about synth vs mineral).

Flash point is low in both case, very low for the DID oil wich is designed for Volkswagen TDi engine but suits gasoline engine also.

In France all is 5W40 about synth oils...

Mazda recommends Elf Evolution SXR 5w30 or Dexelia Ultra 5W-30 for rotary engines in Europe.
