There are many reasons consuming oil by the engine. first big and serious reason is that over heating of engine due to various situations like frequently running fan in normal temperature. which we ignore, during oil changing life only one time change oil filter must change in two times. very poor quality like recycled, used oil, miss grade, specially in turbo engine. Apart from these, leaking of oil , clogged air filter, unwanted changing gear shifting, aforesaid reasons consume oil.
No.
No. An engine that consumes oil is either very worn or the oil being used is too light.
Depends on how worn the engine is. An engine in good condition won't hardly use any oil at all, maybe a cup or so, while there's virtually no limit to how much oil a worn engine can consume.
the turbos shot,i had a problem with my saab it was the pcv valve made it suck oil out of the pan,smoked real bad
No, it is not safe to consume baby oil as it is not meant to be ingested and can be harmful to your health.
Valve guide seals are worn. The engine will consume oil when this happens, when the engine is shut down the oil continues to seep into the cylinders for a short time. When you start the engine the puddled oil that seeped in burns off. Oil is always seeping in as the engine runs, but not enough to notice until it sits awhile and is started.
Because with a two cycle engine the oil is burned with the gas mixture, while the four stroke if in good working order will consume little to no oil because it performs its purpose in a bath system. Meaning that it constantly coats the moving parts.
Only two things can cause an engine to consume oil. 1. Leaks, or seepage, normally from the valve cover or oil pan gaskets, front seals, rear main seals, and sometimes around some cars timing belt covers. 2. The other is ring wear. When an engine's rings wear down, indicative of a compression ratio drop, and oil is able to seep past the rings and be consumed in the gas/air explosion and exhausted. If not too bad, then you only notice oil consumption. After a time though, you will see blue or black smoke at startup, or when you rev the engine up and down. This is unburned oil and usually raw, partially burnt oil, will be seen around the tailpipe. Also when this condition worsens you will see oil in your breather, pcv valve, and blow-by around the oil cap filler.

Use straight 30wt oil with outside temperature of 40 degrees or more, or 10w30 multi- viscosity for the whole temperature range. However engine will consume more oil if 10w30 is used but is easier to start engine if temperature is below 40 degrees
The Honda TMX 155 may consume a significant amount of oil due to a few factors, including engine design, usage patterns, and maintenance practices. If the engine is worn or has faulty seals, it can lead to increased oil consumption. Additionally, frequent high-rev operations or prolonged idling can exacerbate oil usage. Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes and monitoring oil levels, can help mitigate excessive consumption.
Crankcase oil is engine oil , so yes
