Your car does not have a replaceable oil filter. It has an oil screen in the bottom of the pan which needs to be removed, cleaned and reinstalled.





Adapters for standard spin-on oil filters are commonly available for these engines and are highly recommended. If your car has had one of these installed you would need to check what type of filter it has in order to determine the correct replacement.
There is no external oil filter on the old bugs there is a screen inside where you drain the oil you will see a round plate with 10mm bolts drop this to get the screen out.
Only has a screen above the oil plug and generally never needs replaced, If damaged you can get thru NAPA or WORLD PARTS
