So, the inner ring (that is fixed) is always submerged in oil that will carry excessive amount of oil onto the balls and the outer ring. Centrifugal force has nothing to do with this because the inner ring is not spinning. Ball bearings do not require DOF.

If this premise is correct then why did the Porsche engineers specify a sealed grease filled bearing and not a bearing with the outer seal removed?
