Default fuel useage
the ute has been running around 11-12L/100K for a good long time around town with a decent hill drive home.
Yesterday it visited usual mechanic and had a PWR oil-air transmission cooler added.
Last night and today running around 13-14 L/100K.
I havent spoken with mechanic as yet but is this something I should be concerned about?

Mechanic has probably had it idling for a while - or did you zero out the stored figures ?

Give it a few days of running and see if it improves, don't see how a change of tranny cooler would affect fuel use.
