Is it fully synthetic? Just being curious about it. (I use Mobile 1, a fully synthetic TURBODIESEL TRUCK 5W40 engine oil at all times. )

Mine did the same right after I routinely inspected rear belt&rear coolant hose, while tinkering back there I accidentally removed wire from sensor at the back of the head. It signaled glow system that engine was fully
cold so they stayed on for much longer, at
every start-up (same with warm engine). It`s a useful trick for starting a d24(t) that does not start when engine is hot (=has low compression). Check that wiring especially if you have contamination near your pump (D fuel eats plastic for breakfast). I do have some old crispy wires here&there also. It must be a Volvo thing.
Also you could connect 1st cyl temp sensor to your glow plug just to see whether the other sensor is still functioning or not.
