Rio LX 1.6L

  • Manual transmission
  • 117,000 miles

Purchased in 5 months prior, added 8 thousand miles to it. Would do normal oil changes every 3,000 miles. USed 5w-20 Oil as required, on the 22nd of December I was told the 3rd cylinder had low compression(30) and required a new engine. Decided to sell for 2000 and am now getting a better make that doesn't have engine issue this early.
