These valves are lubricated and synthetic grease is recommended. In cold weather that grease can be a bit slow. So in the winter, some engine oil on the piston along with some grease might be a good idea. The lubricant does two things, one is to lubricate, the other is to help keep a gas tight seal. Note that a tiny amount of leakage would be of no consequence as that would not affect the pressure. The pressure is not static, but maintained by the VAC line with flow.
Do not get a TurboXS BPV, it has to be installed backwards (relative to where it should be), and the 25mm aluminum return pipe will then need 25mm cut off of it to allow the install. It has a 32mm brass piston in an anodized bore. The clearance is very small. No piston rings are used. Yes, there is a tiny amount of gas flow past the piston. I lubricate with a bit of moly grease and oil. I used this BPV because I had one in my parts box. It works well otherwise. It can be made to operate faster if the dead space inside the spring is filled with a solid. A wine cork is perfect.
