We only deal with one problem at a time, please make new threads for individual systems. We will handle the oil consumption question on this thread. 1 to 2 liters low between oil changes is normal for an engine that has 200k on it. I would try the next heavier oil weight in the next oil change which can help. Also, check for engine oil leaks, this guide can help:

Use a flashlight to inspect, please upload pictures or videos in your response so I can help if any leaks are found.
