I am going to put my 2 cents in observations. I bit the bullet and got BPD's oil and egr cooler set up, with the spin on filter that it came with. To me the oil seems a lot clearer. Always noticed how black it was before the BPD install. Not an oil expert but having less soot would mean better oil stability in all areas? I have a pic of the dipstick after about 2k miles on the oil. Maybe we can get someone else to post a pic of their oil at 2k?

the BPD oil cooler could potentially be beneficial as the spin-on filter is much larger than the stock drop in, and can handle the flow a lot better without being by-passed. Although how much would require lab test on same vehicle prior to and after install with test done at same mileage on oil tested. I would also think that it might potentially seem cleaner as many vehicles that install the kit have faulty oil coolers to begin with hence higher eot coolant deltas. So the oil is run at higher temps thus breaking it down faster. So it looks "dirtier" than a properly functioning truck. Other than that it can't.

A complete oil change (drop the pan and change the filter) takes ~17 quarts in a running truck. When I changed from factory oil cooler to BPD I used about 24 quarts to refill the whole system.

it seems after talking to bpd i can still use the by pass filter with there remote filter/cooler system and not be bleeding off oil pressure out the top of the stock filter cap, which is not filtered by the primary stock filter,sounds good, but the tab is running up, look like its coal for the kids
