Either CAT ELC or Shell Rotella ELC both are Red and should be purchased undiluted. I.e. Do NOT use 50/50 premix
If you have an XL Parts near you they carry Shell Rotella ELC on the shelf, no need to order it.

IPR High Flow Coolant Filter Ford 6.0
I have a sinister diesel filter...but I hear great things about the above. Downside is its twice as expensive as the other filter kits out there.
And yes, these things are needed for a 155K mile engine. Flying blind with no gauges and running stock things can result in major $$$ when something fails. At the very least a EGR delete is needed, that way even if your oil cooler is plugged you dont run the risk of rupturing the EGR cooler from the steam.

I see there is a sinister "basic" kit that has most of what I would want.

You probably saw a oil cooler relocation kit (what IPR sells) or the BPD (bullet proof diesel) cooler kit. Once you do a EGR delete the need to do oil coolers will go down because you dont risk blowing the EGR cooler, but these are really nice (and really expensive!!!) upgrades.
