Yes 
Do you know what you have in there now?
Make sure the PCV line is clear when you install it. Don't have to pull it off the back of the engine. Just wrap your lips around it and blow. The tube should be clear unobstructed.
If you try to pull it off the back of the engine you can rip it, screw it up...that's why you shouldn't attempt that lol.

You can use compressed air to make sure the line as clear as well. Not too much...just want to make sure it's clear.

It can help a lot or a little. I was just reading that a guy was going through a quart evey 1000 miles. Switched back to motorcraft valve and iot went down to 1/2 quart every 1000. Those posts have been pretty common over the years.

Might as well do all you can to keep a little more oil in that engine ehh.

Actually what I pulled out wasn't motor craft. Here's the old valve I originally thought that # said 233 but I was wrong. It doesn't look like it's been sucking oil tho. Regardless I have a new motor craft one going in. If I have time tomorrow I'm gonna pull my whole intake manifold, it's time for a tune up anyways. I'm hoping there is oil all in the intake.
EDIT: Your picture didn't re-post. The post I quoted was from your PCV picture post.
