NO, do a dry compression test first. If you find a low cylinder THEN put a LITTLE oil in the dead cylinder and spin it a few times without the gauge to make sure there is not so much oil that it will lock. Then test that cylinder again. If the oil brought up the compression, the problem is piston/cylinder/ring related. If not it is valve related.
