VR1 Zinc content
I can get 20W50 VR1 from Walmart. It is SN rated and that should mean 800ish ppm zinc and phosphate. Valvoline claims 1400 and 1300 ppm. I see Mobil claims an SN rating on their 15W50 motor oil with 1200 and 1300 ppm. Am I missing something? My understanding is SN is limited on ZDDP or it can't claim the SN/SN Plus spec.

This is a good read, from what I understand VR1 has .13 to .14 of zinc and phosphorous added. It is SL rated not SN.
