This also indicated problem with oil I was using; not up to constant high-RPM high-temp tasks. I switched to a group-V synthetic that didn't have as bad viscosity breakdown under high-stress. Also upgraded to bigger oil-cooler and lowered my redline to 6750rpms.
All this from a little bottle of used oil!
