I have a 73 Super Beetle restored with a 1600 engine. Two questions. What is the best grade of Gasoline to use? Can you use Mobile One Oil? Thanks. Perry
Either Low oil pressure or bad Alt depending on which side it's on.
There isn't an external oil filter on a STOCK Beetle. There is a screen that is suggested to be cleaned/replaced. There is a plate that the drain plug is screwed into that has 8 or so small bolts that holds it in. Just order a "Beetle Oil filter Kit" and it will have it all included. If you have an aftermarket external filter then it will usually take a Pennzoil PZ1 or a Fram PH8A filter.
