A piston is formed with a peripheral groove for receiving a scraper ring, and an annular, axially extending recess is formed in the face of the scraper ring groove on the side thereof toward the piston crown and adjacent the piston wall, with the recess terminating in an oil-recovery lip at the piston wall and spaced from the adjacent oil-scraping edge of a scraper ring mounted in the groove. The annular recess acts as a reservoir for oil scraped from the wall of a cylinder in which the assembly is reciprocated, which oil is subject to a force attracting it toward the crown of the piston and permits the oil from the reservoir to flow between those adjacent surfaces of the ring and groove closer to the piston crown and out through an outlet from the groove.
