A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a piston crown connected to and above a body portion of the piston. The body portion forms two pin bores and the piston crown defines an outer cylindrical wall. At least one piston ring seal groove is formed in the outer cylindrical wall and extends peripherally around the piston crown. A first oil collection groove is formed in the outer cylindrical wall below the piston ring seal groove. The first oil collection groove has a first width measured along a centerline of the piston. A second oil collection groove is formed in the outer cylindrical wall below the first oil collection groove, extends parallel to the first oil collection groove around the entire periphery of the piston, and has a width that is at least double the width of the first oil collection groove.
