PCV delete guys - How often do you change your oil? I am going to do the PCV delete soon and from searching the issue I see that it shortens your oils life.
I drive my car about 600 miles a month, it is not my daily driver and my question is if I go through with the PCV delete how often should I change the oil?
Thanks.

I removed my pcv about 1000 mi ago. Im going to change my oil today. Its looking very dirty.
The oil is going to break down quicker without the pcv because your not pulling the combustion contaminants out of the oil vaper. All vapor is returning back to the oil pan.
Also too, you might notice some smoke out the exhaust. This is because you dont have the negative pressure in the crankcase helping with the ring seal.
Im planning on the LS6 pcv system. I personally dont think its worth it to remove the pcv.
The reason I removed mine was I put on Adj. rockers an the driver side valve cover baffle hit. So I figured it would pull more vapor into the intake manifold.
