I think that there is a ton of information out there now which is out of 
date. VR1 20w50 off the shelf at Auto Zone has ZDDP again and has for a 
while, but if we search the Internet we can find all sorts of tales about it 
not having it. We all found out too late that they took it out and now that 
it is back all we can read is that it doesn't have it. I think the same may 
be true for Castrol 20w50 and possibly others. Since cars we buy these days, 
the ones that get hurt by ZDDP,  all seem to be running 5w or 10w30 the 
marketers realized that there was no reason to sell 20w50 except for us guys 
so they are putting it back in because we were all sourcing other brands. I 
used VR1 successfully for years and now I'm back to it, with Crane Cam lube 
for break ins. That's my guess anyway.
