pcv valve = postivie crankcase ventation valve, basically its a valve hooked up to your vaccum lines, and the other end is in the valve cover so it sucks the oil gases out of the motor to burn them off so their less contaminants in your engine.

Just lube up the new one and it should push in. Sometime the rubber grommet gets brittle, and needs to be replaced.
And the PCV is not there to keep contaminates out of the oil, its there to reduce emissions. In the old days, the crankcase was vented to atmosphere, meaning all those emissions went right out to the air. Now, the blowby is directed through the PCV valve to be reburned in the engine. As a byproduct, it helps with contaminates in the engine oil.
