Not if you have a PCV system. If you do, it will reduce its effectiveness. If you don't have a PCV system and your a street car, all you are doing is reducing your oils life and harming the environment.

I was wondering about that... I put up a thread in the newb section asking about why or if it should stay on the pullout, but that makes sense. thanks for the info
