You still are not doing a competent analysis of the spark, fuel and compression. If you find something wrong it will just be by luck.
There are testers for compression, putting a little oil in may boost it by 10-20 lbs but if you have NO compression is some cylinders the oil will be of no use.

All the suggestions are good ones but they need to be done in a logical order.

There are any number of repair manuals that detail diagnostic procedures, use one.
