What do you think of these compression test results

I have just done a compression test on the engine... (PSI)

 

1)191

2)185

3)188

4)191

5)190

6)162

 

Thats 15% difference between cylinder 1

 

I tested the 6th cylinder with some oil in it and i got 228psi. Tested number 1 cylinder with the same and i got 250psi. Which now equals an 8% difference.

 

But what does this mean? Because i understand that if the pressure goes up, its the piston ring as the oil in it seals the piston ring, but would that not mean that it should produce a similar reading to cylinder 1? EDIT: Or is this simply possibly caused by a marginal amount of more oil in no.1

 

The reason why i did this is to diagnose a misfire issue. Is this enough of a drop in compression to cause this?
