Question about Compression on my car

I am doing a compression test on my car. I was wondering if there is a special tool that i would need or if i could just use the normal compression tester on it. Thanks for the info.

A zillion posts on this.You can use a regular compression tester, but must remove the pressure release button, or hold it in so as the gauge will be able to drop back after each reading.
