The STC fitting attaches to the HPOP and directs the high pressure oil to the branch tube.
It's known to blow and leak on 05+ engines. With everything torn down for EGR/Oil coolers it makes perfect sense to spend the $60 or so and update it at that time.
With digital gauges it is fairly easy to see when the Dummy Plugs are failing, and sense they aren't very difficult to replace it isn't a must do it now item as the STC is.

I've already had my cooling system flushed out a couple of weeks ago and replaced the coolant with EC-1 and installed a XDP coolant filter .
