The VR-1 pds shows density and KV numbers. You should be able to make an educated guess on the HTHS.
If I could get it in 20L, the 1630 would be the only thing in my shed.
Not the exactly the same thing, but my local Caltex supplier will sell me
Delo Silver SAE 30 in 5L containers. It's a normal Oz price, about the same as GTX at a regular store.
Delo Silver
It's API CF / SJ, with 940ppm Zn and TBN of 9.2 (D4739) or 6.8 (D2896), VI = 118, Pour Point = -39C
KV 40 = 90 cSt
KV100 = 11.5 cSt
For comparison, Castrol RX Mono 30 is API CF/SG, TBN 7.1 (D2896), VI = 107
KV 40 = 98.6
KV 100 = 11.5 cSt
And right now I'm running GTX 15W-40, API SN/CF, TBN = 8.3 (D ???), Pour Point = -36 C
KV 40 = 113 cSt
KV 100 = 14.5 cSt
I'm tempted to drop the GTX 15W-40 and try the Delo Silver SAE 30
