I would say get an oil temp guage first - then determine/monitor oil temperature to see if it is overheating.

if you suspect that your engine is eating a lot of oil then use higher viscosities....oil coolers are ok, but ITR's already have built in oil coolers...

but if you get an oil cooler you can have a substantial drop in pressure...work on the viscousity part first...its a cheap fix if it works...if it doesn't then consider an oil cooler

How does it create a "substantial drop in oil pressure"?
