Oh, and soot is more prevalent in oil because of clean exhaust emissions?
Proof? Or it’s ■■■■■■■■.

there is plenty of information available on google. I’ve read up quite a lot on it, and also on the damage particles in lube oil can do to engine longevity and engine compenents. you might be interested to look this up!

I think we all know here that particles in oil can cause damage.
Google is like a library: full of many wonderful things, and also copies of lying rags that call themselves newspapers.
Since you’ve already done the research can you point us in the direction of how cleaner exhausts result in more soot in oil? Save us trawling through the morass of fake news out there! Thanks!

Mmm. I smell sales pitch. I might be wrong
This is spot on. Newbie with a sales pitch.
The last D13 we had used 3 filters, are 2 full flow and 1 a bypass?

There’s always some one who spoils it. All FH have 3. But the OP should know that…
For me - I dont own the truck, don’t pay for repairs and don’t therefore like I suspect 95% of people on here (going by all I’ve read) have any part in deciding whether to fit something that loads of qualified engineers didn’t think of.
Might have more luck in the owner drivers part but suspect most of those wouldn’t be worrying about fitting extras like this.
I can add however, of all the trucks I’ve driven most of which have quite high mileage, not one had blown anything related to the main bits in the engine such as pistons. Unless this only applies to Volvo’s, in which case you might want to buy a different brand.
Unless you plan on keeping a truck for maybe 4+ million km, I really can’t see it causing any problems in the time you’ve got it. After that its someone elses problem. Suspect the Adblue will fail a long time before that.

thanks for the feedback…much appreciated 
Turning this on its head, fuel is refined from oil but it too has abrasive qualities, look at the failure rate of injectors on small diesels, especially on stop/start or shorter journeys.
Petronas Urania diesel engine oils incorporate Viscguard additive technology to extend engine life and optimise performance. Petronas Urania with Viscguard is formulated with robust oil film to effectively guard against engine’s silent killers – engine deposits – preventing abrasive wear and oxidation to maintain optimal oil viscosity.

I dont think many UK operators run their trucks up to much over 1m kilometres. Most modern engines will do that without trouble, especially 13 litre Volvos.
It’s more important than ever though, to use the absolutely correct oil for you particular engine.
If you’re worried (probably unneccessarily) about premature failure, change the oil more often than recommended, and, most importantly, try to avoid anything with EGR. Old man ■■■■■■■ reckoned it was the worst thing you could ever do to an engine. He said it would be like living your entire life while breathing mainly your own ■■■■■.
