anything above 200 is close to stock compression, if you have 200+ on all 4 cylinders, it's a strong motor.

Every other oil change is good enough if you're running your car hard. It only take max 10 minutes as long as you have the gauge. Usually, all four cylinders should read within 10% range from each other.
