Perhaps they are having an issue with the oil running away from the scavenge pump pick up due to G force under braking, acceleration and/or cornering. If the scavenge was not working correctly and the engines were holding oil in the sump and associated areas then this too could lead to the overheating of the lubricant and the resultant loss of heat transfer capabilities
