I've got a 2014 Kia Soul with 130k miles and the rings are extremely worn and it is virtually undrivable without an oil additive. I need to drive it from Illinois to the southwest, if it's possible to do safely, where I can then rebuild the engine. What approach should I take to try and get the compression up so that it can sustain 21 hours of driving? I've watched videos on Resolve, Miracle Mystery Oil, and Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer, with positives to each.
I would like to avoid towing it or shipping it, as both are costly in multiple ways (and of course driving it, but only making it half way would be costly too.)
When I get there I will find out how low the compression is, but with Lucas currently in it, it still has difficulty driving above 40mph, but is drivable up to that speed and doesn't lose oil.
Thanks.
