Hi, i just saw a car for sale in my country, cheap, but it's like 700 km away. the owner says it has bad piston rings. I know that these engines have a well known issue of sludge building in the oil ring when the oil changes are not done soon enough. Before opening the engine to clean and drill some additionnal holes in the pistons for oil drainage, i'll have to drive the 700 km back home. I don't know yet how much oil this engine drinks.
Do you know a temporary cure i could use to unstick the oil piston rings and drive back home without a blue cloud following my car ?
Diesel fuel in oil ? "gumout" kind of additive ? very thin oil + ATF ? or not worth the gamble ? should i just get a tow ?
