The oil can have debree in it which I was implying thicker oil can cause slower flow threw the screen mesh filter for the VVTI. But in reality I would assume its a faulty gear. All we can do is assume things because we do not have the car hooked up to a scan tool to truly diagnose the vehicle.

Yes, I read your original post, and also read this post:

And again, the service manual recommends thicker oil for track use which is what the OP is doing and its not "super thick"... Then, specifically on the post I quoted you on you said:

Personally I will stay with 0w20 and run a better quality oil like eneos sustina.

So going back to my post where I quoted you, I asked (genuinely) if you knew something different than what we knew because of your "
we get trained on this stuff and 5w30 is too thick".
If there are enough debris in the oil to clog up the screen mesh, it doesn't matter if the oil is 0w-20 or 10w-40 the debris will be an issue.
