Owner reviews for piston rings

The new ring was tighter when it was out of the car (as we expect), but when i was mesauring it in the block, the gap was larger than the old ones lol. I just hit 1500 miles on the car and havent had any major issues at all. Still very strange though.

Btw, if its my rings, I should probably buy oem honda rings right?

engine wise they did better piston rings as the previous years engines had an issue with them.

the early 2016-2018 Volvo's have piston ring issues at would chew up the engine , that's since been fixed

You’re in a car well known for excessive oil consumption due to it’s low tension piston rings, at higher mileages. *Absolutely* change the oil in a prius more frequently than most vehicles.

I’m starting to burn in little oil in my 2.7l 1ar-fe in my 2012 sienna at 272k miles. I guess the low-friction piston rings can get gummed up with extended interval oil changes and start scoring the cylinder walls and cause this issue.

the piston thing oil eating is happening - I don’t remember getting anything from them telling me about the issue. And for more than a year.. maybe 2… been bringing it in for oil when the light goes on between services.

Don't buy anything with a late model 2AZ. The piston rings are shot as happens to all of them and it has been burning oil for a while.

La civic ix NFL sunt segmenții slabi de fabrica si consuma ulei.

At 48k a check engine light came on for a P0300, P0302, P0303, P0420 so I brought it to my shop and had our master tech diagnose it and it turned out to have defective piston rings on 2 and 3. Toyota declined to replace the engine under warranty... kept using it until it started having trouble starting due to low compression and at 92k it just wouldn’t start anymore.
