Well it did not in this situation, I believe it was due to loss of adequate film strength due to high temperature/ film strength degradation. My car does have a ESS Vt-1 kit thus I def wanted to get cooler oil temps bc i w as concerned this was happening on track. Was running 250's now seldom see 215. With cooler oil and more of it , along with stronger bearings , I believe I will have solved the issue. I will follow up with some Blackstone reports to look at oil degradation/dilution, but am not eager to experiment with other oils as TWS is very very good.
