I thought I remember the zinc/phosphorus levels being higher than 1100/1000 that the specs now say.

Yes they lowered zinc in the 10-30 vr1 but that happened several years ago. Unless theyve lowered it again? Wouldn't surprise me. The 20-50 has had more zinc content than the 10-30 for quite a while now. The straight weights are also still high zinc formulas.
Our Napa still stocks shelves full of VR1 Valvoline in all viscosities.
