so the importance of changing the PCV is overshadowed by the importance of not being an idiot?

Had a 86 Pontiac that consumed a quart of oil every 90 miles. Meant that I added a quart of oil PER DAY.

Once I discovered that the PCV valve was hopelessly sludged up - I'd checked it six months before and it seemed fine - I was able to cut consumption from a quart per 90 miles to a quart every three or four hundred miles when I replaced it.
