2.3liter turbo engine with 118000km.
So how many miles are you getting per litre of oil?
If there is no smoke and you are getting better than 750 miles of mixed driving with no sustained high speeds per litre it would hardly be economic to carry out repairs to improve it, apart from the usual checks for external leakage, the engine breather, turbo seals and ensure the oil pumped to the valve gear can drain back to the sump quickly enough. A build up of sludge can restrict this.
If all is ok and the consumption is too high it is usual to replace the valve stem oil seals as a first step.

Yes, could be related to oil change, using incorrect oil or low oil level. What color is the smoke?

It often means that you are burning antifreeze. You asked if it needs antifreeze, have you noticed any leaking out of the reservoir tank while you are running it? Sometimes when the head gasket goes it will produce a passage for the antifreeze to pass from the capillaries into the combustion chamber. It is easy to check if you have an air compressor. Remove one of the rear sparkplugs and the radiator cap. Fill the radiator and then push some air into the sparkplug hole (get a good seal in case a valve is open). Repeat with all the cylinders and watch for air bubbles coming up into the radiator. If bubbles come up or fluid is pumped out, the head gasket is blown and must be replaced. It is more likely to happen at the back of the engine because it is farthest away from the fan and therefore gets less cooling. Also check your oil for discoloration. If it is a brownish color it could mean your oil and antifreeze are mixing and has the potential to damage your bearings

The intake valve guide seals are worn and are letting oil slip by under high engine vacuum--as when you let up on the gas. The only fix is to take the cylinder head off and replace the valve guide seals. This problem is pretty normal for an older car with high mileage. It will probably run just fine. Just keep checking the oil level and keep it topped up.
