I would change the oil, I have seen some oil usage when I have used other oils and basically only used delo or shell rimula with good results. Not a fan of Penrite.

Intercooler is neither here or there at your level of tune. It's nice and would help but no huge gain for the work/cost.

Why keep it under 95km/h?
Awesome Thanks Heaps Mat Mate
Apologies for quoting your post, helps me read above correctly hopefully whilst replying to Top Advice
Fuel pump a definite future need and was kindly also mentioned by Andy as being potentially pressure low or something in areas unknown to me. Installed Zexel injectors ourselves the week before last and definitely helped bring it back from horrible to drive able, had lost a whole gear up hills at least
Delo or Rimula X I will seek out for sure thank you kindly and will even seriously consider changing all other old trucks over too
In regards keeping it under 95kmph, Andy’s offsider suggested and I also have experienced it double oil consumption on a 10hr highway test last year, first 5hrs at 110km (approximately 50mm / 100km) second 5hr test 90kmph (25mm /100km) …..ish but honestly highly noticeable usage difference to me at the time as I was running out of supplies, hence why I carry a spare spare 10L extra atop of drums in my sliders right side these days
