That type of oil ring is standard and holds up well. I think you may have installed it wrong. How did you put it in?

"Accordion" ring goes on first. Then a metal ring above, and one below it. They should seat on the accordion ring. Space the gaps apart, not aligned. I set them anywhere from 90 to 120 deg apart.

EDIT: You have two "accordion" rings and only one steel ring. (I answered the first time from a phone and the pic was small, I couldn't see the rings until I looked on a PC.) Someone packaged your parts wrong. You need to order a new ring set. Should have noticed that 3 years ago....
