There isn't one. If you look at the bottom of the engine, there's a round plate with six acorn nuts holding it on. Take those off and you'll find an oil strainer. This car was designed in the 1930s when everyone did it that way, and it wasn't updated when the rest of the world figured out oil filters were a good idea. The flipside of that is, if you gotta change the oil in a Bug in the middle of nowhere, where there's plenty of motor oil but no filters, you can wash the screen out, put it back on and not have to worry about your new oil being full of old dirt.
On my 79 Fuel Injected Beetle the oil filter is a screen located underneath the engine.

If you do not see a screw on type filter then your Beetle has the filter or screen under the drain plate. Remove the 6-8 small bolts holding the plate in place and you will see the filter.
4.8 quarts with filter
The 1974 VW Super Beetle engine oil capacity is 3.5 quarts. Three quarts of oil will be in the engine and one half quart of oil will be in the oil filter.
Without the filter is about 2.75 quarts, With the filter should be 3.75 qts.
A 1974 Volkswagen Beetle takes 2. 5 liters of oil. The weight of the oil should be 15W30. When the oil is changed, the oil filter should also be changed.
Replace it every 36,000 miles.
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.
