I assume you mean the root problem is many oils losing viscosity at high temps whereas Driven DT40 and the xp9 racing oil not doing so. I believe you don't think it has as much to do with lateral g-forces. (I have switched to DT40).

But my question is in a 15 year old car does the piston actually wear out/break and need replacing so as to prevent damage? Is it designed to last 15-20-30+ years?

Thanks,
Fred
