oil or ATF ?

Im tryin to start a used motor should I use oil or ATF in it to get some compression built up to start it . It has sat for a while and I just got it put in today but it just floods. A little smoke out the exhaust but wont fire up. It has had ATF in it while sitting and turned over by hand 2 times aweek . If I do the oil or ATF how much do I put in the rotors to get compression up .

TRY PUSH OR TOW STARTING IT FIRST!!!! This is in my opinion a much safer way to fire that motor.
