If the compression is "zero" upon repeated measurements you might have a different problem. Is the engine using oil? You might get lucky if the service records are poor and just be dealing with a gummed-up valve seat. You could try an oil additive with Teflon or Gumout and see what happens. This should not hurt anything and possibly afford a quick fix You don’t mention service records or rough idle so I will take a stab and suggest that the exhaust valve is sticking open intermittently backfire or hard starting might signal the same for an intake valve but since you don’t mention it may not be the case.

I am getting 0 compression on the #2 cylinder and the normal 250 on the others. What could be causing this? The service department is stating that worst case we may have to get a new engine but they are not sure at this time and that is the last thing I want due to it no longer being under warranty.

Hold the button until the light plashes then turn the key off. Since I don't have a acc position or at least don't know whatr it is on ny newly acp=quired 2007; I don't yet know what to do with this. By the way. I have been using Mobile One for 30 years and have never seen sludge buildup in any of many cars that I've used it in. I have a 77 ford f150 that I started using Mobile One in at 84,000 and it cleaned up the sludge inside the valve covers. Allas I have to stop using it in that older vehicle now because of the ZDDP reductions. I just read that you push the trip odometer reset and hold it while turning the ignition switch to acc.
