| My oil filter has no problem plumbing fixtures backside my Monza muffler. I will say withal, that I'm non too happy with the Monza muffler for other reasons. The heater pods were so crudely engineered that I had to replace them with old ones off a stock muffler. And I had to re-shape those to brand them fit. Also, the outer corners of the Monza poked into my rear apron, and I had to fustigate them in to make clearance. As it is I don't know if I can remove the engine without taking the muffler off start. (My engine/muffler was already attached to my chassis when I dropped the trunk on.) The muffler is really loud, but doesn't have a very mellow tone. Non a very happy camper. I take some other question related to oil filters. The kind we're talking about sits right in the exit path of the cooling air. That must be pretty hot. Does having the oil filter there make the automobile run measurably hotter? -Paul | |

| Can you put a spiral on oil filter on a 1970 Standard Beetle with a 1600cc engine. I wanted to install one on my Beetle only the companies that make them say information technology's for Beetles made between 1971 thru 1979. Below is what 1 company say'southward most this modification. This user-friendly, easy to alter Spin-on Oil Filter looks manufacturing plant fresh! Simply lift the engine deck lid, reach in and remove the old filter, then screw-on the new 1. All hardware, a Bosch oil filter, German seals and easy-to-follow mounting instructions included. Fits dual port 1971-79 Beetles with the doghouse oil cooler. (Notation: For proper installation, you will need to cut iv square inches of tin from your fan housing, instructions included.) | |

But, since Tap and Full Catamenia is an easy task and since filtering the oil is e'er a good matter and .... Oil Filters help prolong bearing life, and yes VW type I'south didn't have them stock. It makes good sense and helps remove combustion particulates and other debris from the oil stream. Keeping your motor alive, longer. http://world wide web.geneberg.com/aboutfullflowfiltering.htm | |||

| nybug, the info you gave is correct near plumbing fixtures '71-79 VWs. I have a 'seventy but I replaced the fan and shroud with a '71 shroud and fan. It is likewise necessary to get a '71 canis familiaris house oil cooler and the 8mm to 10mm footstep seals to arrive fit. Most VW places have the oil libation and seals, etc in a kit for you. This will increment the corporeality of fan air for cooling past over 33%, I was told. I am considering going with the remote oil filter setup, but my case is not drilled for full-flow, yet. In a test that Ford ran many years ago (when oil filters were an optional purchase item), they discovered that a filter organisation can cutting engine clothing by upward to 65%. | |

It's a Canton-Mecca. Yesterday when my #four exhaust bound broke, one of the aluminum rockers got chewed upwardly. There was plenty of aluminum shavings in the caput. I removed the fliter and opend it upwardly. I constitute aluminum in the input side of the canister, merely none on the output side. It looks like the filter just saved my engine from some serious harm. | |||||

| I think one thing to call back is that all things can be considered evolutionary. As more is learned, traditional ways of things become questioned and reviewed. So, personally, I believe in simplicity and running a filter based on today's knowledge is a good thing. Nosotros too have to remember as well that when VW started in 1946, they I honestly don't believe that anybody at VW AG in the late 40s or 50s or even 60s thought that anything they were making then would be so widely popular and yet looked afterwards twoscore, l or near 60 years after they were congenital. | |

| I installed a spin-on oil pump with filter in my 1969 bug 7 years ago, and I'm very happy with the results. If VW put in an oil filter in the last 10 years of the Mexibug's production, then it must mean it's an improvement over the quondam filterless organization. Even Type 4 engines had the oil filter as standard equipment, I believe. | |

| I had the car tapped when i was building the engine. The filter is a Canton Mecca and can be purchased directly from them. http://www.cmfilters.com/ The filter is a most the size of a Fram HP-1 (6-1/iv" long 10 iii-1/4" in diameter) Just this past Lord's day I had a valve leap pause and one of the aluminim rockers got chewed upward. There wasaluminum in the valve encompass. I dumped the oil and opened the filter. I found aluminum on the input side of the filter, simply the output side was clean. I spoke to the staff at Canton Mecca, to order new filters, and they told me the filter Volition prevent and aluminum from getting into the oil coolerl and bearings. The strainer screen and moo-cow magnet wouldn't help since aluminum is non-magnetic. The filter simply paid for it's cocky. | |
