The most common type of oil ring is the three-piece oil ring, which typically consists of two rails and a spacer or expander. This design effectively controls oil consumption and reduces oil consumption in internal combustion engines. The two rails scrape excess oil from the cylinder wall, while the spacer maintains proper tension against the wall, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
