Hello,
I have a 95 Saturn SC2 with 177k miles. I fixed my a/c after replacing a shorted wire from the pressure switch, I appreciate your help! But now I need to know about the oil control rings. If these are gunked up, could this lead to excessive oil consumption and a very smokey exhaust? I believe my compression may be low and could the dirty oil control rings be contributing to that situation? I do not belive that my head gaskets are very bad because there is no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil pan, everything is clean in those areas. I just have alot of smoke and consume about half my oil in a week with average, small town driving. Lastly, should I use a cleaner for my situation and what would be good to use? Thanks for your help... - Garrett D.
