No compression?

My 1995 855T has spark and fuel, but won't start. I was told that sometimes if you start the car and shut it off without it warming up, then you can lose compression and that the remedy for this is to add a little oil to each cylinder.

I'm pretty noob at this, so would someone be able to give me step by step instructions for this? Thanks.

That's so much BS on a street car I can't begin to tell you.
Do you know how many people start and shut a car off for various reasons?
If every one had to have oil added we wouldn't have any cars on the road

do not add oil in the cylinders, it will foul the o2 sensor
