I would do a little troubleshooting first. It could be a simple vacuum leak. With the engine running remove the oil filler cap. There should be a vacuum if there is no leak.
Problems with the CCV systems are far more prevalent where winters are extreme. I wouldn't consider Reno having severe winters.
It is not how long a drive you take. It is about driving long enough that the oil temperature has been at normal operating temp-should be 20-20 minutes.
I haven't touched the CCV system. My input is that the design is fine. I do change my oil every 5000 miles and Texas winters are close enough to call them Michigan summers.
