The tick hasn't returned after a normal commute to/from work since. Previously I had noticed it every day for several weeks getting at the end of each commute.
Spirited driving was performed at lower speeds < 70mph getting up to redline ~3-4 times, also noted that the oil temperature was a bit above 210F afterward.
Would be great if someone could reproduce this so we could finally end the ticksteria
Edit: the tick I am referring to is this variety

Sounds discrete. Good that you got rid of it driving harder.
What oil are you using? Liquimoly?
