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.

When a piston has three rings the bottom ring will be?
A special oil control ring
What is the top ring nearer to the piston crown?
compression rings.. while the bottom ring is known as oil ring .
How do you install piston rings?
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.

What is the position of piston ring?
Generally in grooves near the top of the piston. The compression rings, near the top and the oil rings at the bottom of the top. The ring gaps are staggered.
Does the bottom piston ring on a four-cycle engine help control excessive compression?
No, the bottom ring is the oil ring. It wipes excess oil off the cylinder wall.
How do i check piston oil ring?
You have to disassemble the entire engine, remove the piston and check the rubber ring around that piston.
How do you check the engine pistons of a 1998 Saturn SL1?
The only way to "check" a piston would be to remove it and visually inspect for damage and wear.Make certain that the piston is not cracked or otherwise damaged.check the ring grooves. Use a piston ring and a set of feeler gauges to determine the amount of wear. Excessive ring groove wear can result in piston failure and if the piston shatters, it can cause the engine to fail completely.Next, use a micrometer to determine the difference in the diameter of the piston between the top and bottom. The piston will wear and if the difference between the top and bottom is too great, the engine will exhibit "piston slap".Check the fit of the wrist pin, it should be tight.HOWEVERYou can run a compression test and get a good idea whether the piston is functioning somewhat correctly.
What is the function of a piston ring?
The three main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are:Sealing the combustion/expansion chamber.Supporting heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.Regulating engine oil consumption.
How piston ring is calibrated?
a piston ring is not calibrated. You just slide the new one in place
What is the minimum number of piston rings?
one ring per piston, the pistons have a groove in it where the ring fits on.
Can Change piston rings from bottom 97 cavalier?
No, the piston won't fit out the bottom
