Default Compresion check?

So I've posted before about my check engine light being on and haveing a multiple cylinder misfire code pop up. I've done everything from spark plugs to cap/rotor. My buddy said a while ago my compresion could be off and I have also noticed that ever 2200 miles I have to pour in a few quarts of oil but I haven't seen any leak spots where I park my car or any were on my motor. you can here the mis fire from 1800-2200rpm. It's an 01 h22a4 w/ 4 sped auto. Any help would be awsome.

Are you getting any blue-tinted smoke coming out of your exhaust?

Nah the only thing that I notice is the sound of the engine as it's mis firing and every now and then the oil light will go on.

?? -- I dought that your old fuel rail and fuel injectors were the fault. Before spening all that money on new (unneccesary) parts, try logical reasoning on what might actually be causing an oil light and check engine lights to come on. A tune up is a start, but pull the CEL codes and go from there. Check your timing also.
