Those are the temps you have to start worrying about breakdown and changing your oil sooner.
The temps in the summer from just daily’ing your car are nothing to worry about and I bet your oil life sensor is factoring in this exact thing that you’re worried about

Dont forget where you shut off the car and it heatsoaks in between sessions. If you're seeing 270 on track, what is it at after 10 minutes of sitting in the pit/garages?
Theres PLENTY of TX, FL, AZ cars that see DD and track use and have no oil issues. If you have to worry about oil breaking down at 120 or even 230 degrees, use a different oil. If its something that seriously bothers you, up your oil change intervals.
I know its legal bs but in my 5th gen manual it says not to add anything to the oil, my wifes 6th gen (2022) manual says the same thing. Hell my turbos on my car are ball bearing oil fed. The heat from that and driving in FL, never worried about it. Oil gets changed every 3k. To answer your question directly, never heard of that stuff and with all the spelling mistakes on the label, I wouldnt even feel comfortable having it my garage let alone in my car.
