As the title states I am considering Motul 6100 synergie+ and Repsol Elite Multivalvulas both in 10w40 spec. Car in question is a 1996 Honda Civic 1.4i(d14a3, non vtec sohc 16v - same as any d series but 1396cc), OCI is around 5000km (3000miles), car is driven every day in the city for 2x15mins and taken on spirited drives on most weekends so I would need this oil to be good for both if possible. Other oil recommendations are welcome but I would like to stay with 10w40 vsc. Listed below are the specs of the 2 mentioned oils.
Help with oil choice; Motul vs Repsol (10w40)

Motul, but both would do good.
I am not, I thought mostly city driving requires more frequent oil changes. Is 3000 miles a bit overkill?
Both will work perfect, so you can use the cheapest.
For more info, technical data is not very real. Both are semi-syn. Motul group I/II + III or III.
Repsol real data from Renault papers shows:
HTHS 3.7
Noack 8.9
Ash 1.1
PP -39
100% group III.

Yes, but not by much (~7€ per 5l).
I used to be able to get the Total Quartz 9000 Energy 5W40 for cheaper than the Motul 6100, if you can I'll suggest this one too.
(I do realize that isn't answering the question)

I would use the Repsol, mainly because it's Full Synthetic, albeit Group III, the Motul is Semi-Syn, i have used the Repsol Multivalvulas in the past and liked it.
