No it doesnt matter one tiny little bit. My air cooled VWs didnt even HAVE an oil filter. + they only had 2.5 quarts of oil. One of my friends VWs in college (1976) dropped a valve and I rebuilt the engine using parts from two wrecked engines we got at a junk yard. (with new bearings and gaskets and a valve job) He moved to Africa in the 1990's and gave the car to his son... Not unusual to get 200 k miles from the crankshaft, cam shaft, pistons and cylinders (but not the rings and not the valves) All this stuff about FRAM oil filters makes me LAFF.

Wow. You're right. The Beetle had a strainer, but no filter. I had no idea.

Fram and Prestone *both* must have hated that car! ;-)
