Possibly but not likely. If you suspect the PCV valve is bad, replace it. The two deal with different aspects of engine operations. While a PCV can affect the way an engine runs, and even allow for a buildup of crankcase pressure, it will not affect oil pressure. If you have low oil pressure it may be time to change to a heavier (thicker) grade of engine oil. For example, if you're currently using a 5W15 oil, change to 10W30. Higher numbers indicate that the viscosity of the oil is thicker and can revive the oil pressure of an older engine that is starting to experience some wear.

What causes pressure to come out the oil fill hole?
One possible cause is a blocked PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve. As your motor is running the crankcase will build with pressure and the PCV system will let the motor breathe. If the PCV valve is blocked or faulty then the motor will look to release the pressure somewhere else.
How do you fix an engin from having to much pressure in an 82 f150 49 lit and blowing oil out?
The first thing that comes to mind is a blocked PCV valve or the line going to the PCV valve.
What is the meaning of PCV system in an engine?
PCV stands for POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION When the engine is running it builds pressure inside of the engine and if the pressure is not released then it will blow out the engine oil gaskets and leak oil.
You have oil in the throttle body why?
Chech the pcv valve. The oil is due to excess crankcase pressure.
What would cause oil filter cap to pop off while driving?
blocked pcv or excessive piston blowby..
What are PCV valves?
pcv stands for(positive crankcase ventilation)it relieves the pressure in the oil pan. it is located on the front valve cover close to the driverside of the vehicle.
What does a PCV valve contro in ford trucks?
PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation. It prevents an over pressure condition in your engines crankcase that could cause oil to be forced past the pistin rings into the firing chamnber. If your PCV is clogged you will probably see increased oil useage and on some vehicles gas mileage may be affected as well. On cars prior to PCV there was an open tube that vented excess pressure over the side. With PCV the pressure is vented into the intake manifold and used as part of the fuel/air mixture.
What do you do when there is oil in the carburetor?
replace your PCV first if it persists you will need to look into why you have so much pressure in the crankcase.
Why does pressure build up in block and force motor oil out the rear seal?
your pcv valve or hose is restricted causing excessive crankcase pressure
Why is there a wire connection on 2004 Ranger PCV valve?
You're likely looking at the oil pressure sending unit.
What is the PVC hose used for?
To vent pressure in the crankcase. Really its the pcv but they work to gether. Prevents oil blowing out seals.
My engine light came on after replace valve cover gasket in my 1992 Honda accord but oil is not leaking?
Check your crankcase ventilation, the hose or pcv may be blocked or disconnected.
