Oil usage is from worn valve seals and or worn piston rings. Misfires are due to worn spark plugs and or bad coils. Fuel injectors could be leaking or clogged. Check the cylinder compression or leak down test to see where your issue lies.

Clean or replace the PCV. Never let the engine get more than 1/2 quart low or you risk ruining the engine.
