There's a good reason why PCV systems have been made a legal requirement & another good reason why it's a good idea anyway.
Back in the 'good ol' days' when nobody could even spell PCV, engines would build up pollutants in the oil, such as water [a by product of combustion] & sulphur which is a component of the crude oil from which petrol is made. These two combine to form a mild sulphuric acid which doesn't do bearings or pistons much good.
Crankcase sludge was also a big problem.
Engine service life was 100,000 miles [160,000k] ....... if you were lucky.
With a PCV system & modern oils engine life can be three times this figure & crankcase sludge is a thing of the past.
When draught tube crankcase ventilation was the only thing around a great deal of oil in the form of micro droplets. This oil was sucked into the road surface when the weather was dry, but with a light fall of rain [drizzle was the worse] the oil would float to the surface & form what was widely known as 'summer ice' & it was responsible for far more vechicle accidents, injuries & even deaths that should ever have occured.
This, along with pollution control reasons, is why the PCV ststem is a legal requirement.
Stay clean, & stay legal, stay smart & use a PCV system.
