I have four W2s to file for 2016 but i have lost one of them. Am i able to finish with the three I've already filed and apply for an extension for the fourth return?

All of the W-2's will need to go on the same return. So if you file those 3 now, you will have to amend the return after the IRS accepts and you've received the refund, to add the 4th one. Or you can file an extension now and wait until you get the 4th one and file them all at once that way. 

You can go here https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/ to file a federal extension for your 2016 return. Keep in mind, filing an extension gives you until October 16 to file, but it doesn't give you until October to pay your taxes, if you owe. Those are still due by midnight, April 18.

And you can find details here below for how to file an extension for your state.
