I hope that we both keep our cars and, down the road, compare notes with respect to seals, oil control solenoids,... stuff like that. I'd be just as interested to learn that I'm wrong. In general, the hotter stuff gets, the sooner it gives up. Coil packs, for instance. They're mounted to, and surrounded by the valve cover, Oil temp affects way more than rings & bearings.

Temps of all that stuff is going to be driven more by coolant temp than oil temp. My coolant temp holds at 200F at the track, whatever the ambient temp (up to 98F at Thompson a couple years ago).
