True. I've never had any success with this stupid glove test either.

The PCV isn't complicated, and it doesn't even have a valve at all, it's simply a clear void between several bits of engine and the inlet manifold. The manifold sucks and draws the vapourous gases, where either condensate oil is returned by gravity to the sump or gets burned in the cylinders.
