Low Oil Damage to Pistons or Rings
Due to a hole that was put through the valve cover on my 2008 Sprinter Van
excessive oil was lost and I'm now being told that the rings or pistons are
damaged and I need an engine replacement. Could excessively low oil (5-7
quarts) have caused damage to the rings or pistons? Also, if something
metal got under the valve cover could this have caused the damage? The
van seemed to be running fine before this.
