Air conditioner compressor went out.

Habitual oil burner, starting at 80000; 1 q per 500 miles with no leak or blue smoke.. no clue where the oil was going... found out there is a service call out on this car for sticking rings. Took it in to have it looked at, after several mechanics said it was in need of a new engine.
Find a mechanic who knows about the service recall, and have them flush out the crankcase with a special detergent.. it unstuck my rings, and we shall see if that fixes the problem.. just hoping there was no damage to the rings themselves before the problem was found.. if there was then I will ditch the car as I'm not going to pay close to $4000 for a new engine, which is the next step... Will just drive it until it dies, and then get a new car..
So far I have loved this car, and it has been extremely reliable. Just watch the oil!!!
Get Shot of it. I had a 1993 SL2 and no amount of engine flush cured the serious Oil Burning. It was costing me a quart of oil each 150 miles with NO OIL LEAK! Absolute waste of time.
