They're fine. The #6 is slightly lower than the rest, but only by about 10lbs or so. That's not at all unusual if the motor has any miles on it. You're just fine.

it is most likely the same. i thought there was only one way. i checked each cylinder 2 or 3 times before i went to the next

no oil as in no oil? or is that a product u used? I am not aware of how you do it...in 4 cylinders we stick a compression tube straight into the cylinder area...i really have no clue on how to do it at all..

no oil as in pouring a little oil into the cylinder to get a better compression reading.
