The invention provides a method for reducing the friction between the piston and the cylinder wall of an internal combustion engine, comprising the following steps: (a) constantly guiding the lubricating oil to flow to the surface of the piston skirt through the through hole provided on the piston skirt during the movement of the piston and (b) storing lubricating oil in the groove provided on the piston skirt and the non-through hole of the piston skirt, so that a sufficient amount of lubricating oil is always applied between the cylinder wall of the internal combustion engine and the surface of the piston skirt lubricating oil, and isolate the metal contact between the cylinder wall and the piston skirt, and finally reduce the friction between the piston skirt and the cylinder wall, reduce the internal combustion engine friction work loss, heat power consumption, and improve the internal combustion engine Higher power output, lower fuel consumption, noise and emissions. To achieve the dual benefits of fuel saving and environmental protection. In order to achieve the purpose of the method and steps for reducing the friction between the piston and the cylinder wall of the internal combustion engine, the invention provides a fuel-saving piston of the internal combustion engine, the piston comprising: a piston skirt, a piston skirt wall, and a piston ring. A plurality of grooves are formed in the piston skirt, a plurality of through holes are formed in the piston skirt, and a plurality of non-through holes are formed in the piston skirt. The piston skirt groove provides storage lubricating oil, the piston skirt through hole provides supply lubricating oil, and the piston skirt non-through hole provides storage lubricating oil. The present invention can be widely applied to: internal combustion engines, including vehicles, ships, tanks, generators, mining machinery, compressors and the like. The fuel saving effect and environmental protection benefit are very remarkable.
