You are absolutely correct. The pcv valve is brand new due to the field measure. It's almost certainly your piston rings. This exact thing happened to my 2009 r320 bluetec. I sold it and I was fully transparent about the oil consumption issue. I had purchased it for 5500 and i sold it for 3000. I lost almost 3k but I made sure I was transparent about the issue.

Well this issue never materialized until i had the field measure recall completed. I believe the PCV Valve would have been changed at the time. i have also tried 5-40 (MB 229.52) and it is only marginally better than the 5-30. dumping the car is not much of an option as it is virtually worthess with a bad engine and i can't in good conscience sell it as otherwise.
