I fear you are probably right. Where would you go for diagnosis next other than a leak down test and scoping the cylinders to see cylinder wall conditions?

Yeah, that's a good idea! I was going to triple check the PCV hose routing when we go to replace that PCV valve. I am afraid to admit you're probably correct about the rings assessment.

I've heard good things about this stuff. I believe it is a petroleum based fluid. The only reason I'm not using it is cost and availability.

Yeah, if I were going to run a synthetic I'd likely run Redline D4. I'm just skeptical about any synthetic fluid because of what TX Drivetrain Performance alleges.
