Wow! Thanks, Tom. I do not even know where to begin looking. I did not know there were so many options. Do you happen to know which Bronco year lights are on the XL? You reckon these are plug and play with what I have now?

Sure, a prestart oil priming system would reduce some wear but would it really extend the life of the engine?
I’m not aware of any S60 prematurely worn out in RV service. I have 173k miles on our S60 and oil pressure is 50 psi on the road and 30 psi at hot idle. No smoking or noticeable blow-by. No obvious indications of wear.
It seems in truck applications, the first thing to go on an S60 is the bull gear around 500k – 700k miles. I don’t expect this to be a problem in RV applications.
If you are concerned about wear, the best thing you can do for your engine is
(1) to turn on the block heater below 40 deg F for several hours or overnight and
(2) make sure your air filter is not compromised and your pre-turbo inlet ducting does not leak. Dust can ruin a diesel engine in no time.
I think bypass filtration is great on a trans-ocean trawler or mission critical generator applications where the engine runs for weeks without shutdown. For trucks and coaches an oil and filter change every so often is all that is needed and replaces wear additives as well.
