If the temps get too high then the oil gets too thin and cant lubricate.

James, what oil do you use?

james:
Castrol 530 fst

you think I should change to a different oil?

Yes.  Go to a 5w40 competition oil.  You should notice the temp drop slightly too.

I would recommend the Millers cfs 5w40 nt.  Running this in my car and loads of others on here are too.  Highest temps I saw at a brunters track day was 110.  On the road I'm usually around 90.
