No, the bottom ring is the oil ring. It wipes excess oil off the cylinder wall.

compression rings on pistons are worn out or broken
The DNJ ring spec. information, printed on each compression ring (located next to the piston ring gap), is installed facing the top of the piston for both the top (#1) and middle (#2) compression piston ring slots. The oil control ring can be installed just like any other oil control ring in the bottom (#3) piston ring slot.

Compression and tension occur in opposite side of the footing relative to position. So, at a spread ftg or pile cap, the top reinforcing will be in tension and the bottom compression. At the midspan, between spread ftgs or pile caps, the tension will occur in the bottom and compression in the top. Rebar lap splices usually occur in the compression points, so bottom lap at spread ftgs and top at midspans. Also, details will typical have additional rebar at the points of maximum tension so at the top over supports and bottom at midspans. This though should be confirmed with the Engineer of Record on any project, as assumptions can change project to project. But this is the general concept.
Most commonly the bottom ring will be the Oil Controlring.(Control added by amclaussen.)Oil control ring is correct. It is used to keep the cylinder lubricated as the piston goes up and down. The first two top rings are for compression. However, the 2nd from the top ring is also a wipper ring. Used to keep oil from getting into the combustion chamber.(~Decker)
When a simply supported beam is subject to bending; the top of the beam will be subject to compression, and the bottom of the beam will be subject to tension (think about the bottom of the beam stretching as it bends i.e. tension). Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension, so steel reinforcement is added to allow it to resist this tension and carry bending sufficiently. Note: bars are generally added to the compression side too but that's for another day.
Compression or tension, the top chord will always experience compression and the bottom chord will always experience tension. The other members can experience either.
