So after some unrelated issues, I did a compression test to find that my test result read:
180
180
180
160 :(
After adding a bit of oil, it climbed up to 180. So if I understand the diagnosis of the test correctly, I have a bad piston ring.
That would reveal my fairly slow loss of oil - which I initially attributed to a small oil leak.
So while replacing the piston ring, what other parts would be a good idea to replace? My car has a fairly low mileage at 180,000km (around 100,000miles) and is otherwise running great.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice!
