Open filler cap, place suitable receptable underneath the oilsump,
remove drainplug and let drain.
If you have a oil change "kit" remove the mini sump and clean strainer,
remember one gasket on each side of strainer when assembling, do not
overtighten small acorn nuts.

Refill with 2.5L of oil, thats about it really..

J.

Please ask if anything seems uncertain, remember there is no such thing
as a "stupid" question when asked earnest.

No, an otherwise stock T1 engine from ca 1970 does not have another oil
filter, only the strainer which covers the oil pickup inlet in the sump.

That's correct. The sreen catches the really big lumps <g>
and the fine particles settle out onto the sump plate.

The Porsche engineers who came up with the design in 1937 (Yes!)
felt it would be adequate to protect the bearings .
70 years later....It still works!

Frankly, I applaud your plucky attitude and willingness.

(That's not a slam on Joey's position either. I just take
a slightly different viewpoint.)

been messing with these vw's for nearly 20 years...last one *I* set by ear
sounded great, ran great, and was way off....they run great and pretty damn
peppy at 50+degrees total advance...but not for long....setting by "ear" is
an emergency move to get you home to your strobe light...

you really are a dumbass aren't you? read your reply...... you said

ear"....then ">> > he's set 50 or more like that, he's FIXED wut orther

your vw knowledge.... eat ****, "iight"

I agree also.... you can set it by ear.... it might appear to run good....
but when you get a strobe on it.... the timing is all screwed up...

Scotty,

I'm glad your uncle is an "expert" because you're burning bridges
here. I hope you treat him better than you treat others that are
trying to help out.

Good Luck! and Grow Up!
