Battery, antifreeze, and oil are all ok
Thanks
cylinders coated in oil resulting no compression?? with oil in cylinders compression will be bigger as it fills very tiny possible air- compression leaks . and if engine is heavy oil burner compression test is not recommended as it will not be real accurate numbers for same reason

for u is best to take out one or few spark plugs and check are they not wet of fuel or oil . this might not let to get good spark and fire the engine .maybe spark plugs are bad and need replacement
