RE: Is this a good idea?

To answer your origional question you are in no danger of pulling any oil from your crankcase through your PCV. They are designed to open only at very lo engine vacuum. The valve is held shut by engine vacuum at idle (when vacuum is at its highest value) and is spring loaded internally to open when you open the throttle. At that point vacuum disappears and any oil suction won't occur. If the pcv fails then and only then would you have that problem and it would immediately be visibly apparent in your exhaust.

This thread, so far...
