Anyway, why have you done a compression test if you say the car drives 100% and there's no EML on?

What's the actual compression reading?

The spoon of oil trick is a last ditch attempt at determining whether it's a bad piston ring causing low compression. If you pour some oil in, repeat the compression test and it reads the same as the other pistons, you know it's nothing to do with the valves.
