From 1972 to 1979 the VW micro bus uses a type IV "Pancake" version of the air cooled flat four motor. Pre 1972 VW buses use the upright air cooled motor identical to the versions used in the VW Beetle's of the era. VW then experimented with a water cooled version of the flat four engine(Wasserboxer), this lasted a few short years and VW moved all vehicles to their water cooled inline and similar standard engines.
It's really easy you get under the motor and there are two circle looking thing loosen up the small to drain the oil and then take out the big and clean out the oil screen and put it back together
Late 1967 to early 1969 Type 1 1500 cc. It may be found in a Bus but it originally came from a Beetle as far as I can tell.
