Jim, On CT and CZ engines the oil filter screws directly into a special cylindrical flange cast into the main crankcase. It is in the same position as on the Type 4 engine but it screws in almost horizontally as on the Wasserboxer motors and it screws in directly to the crankcase whereas the Type 4 filter is screwed in upwards and virtically and uses an intermediary oil filter mounting flange which is also bolted to the crankcase. A clear picture of the differences between the filter arrangement on the CT and CZ engines as opposed to the Type 4 engines can be seen on pages 9 and 10 of the VW parts microfiches for Type 2 Transporters from 1980 models. These same diagrams are in the ETKA CD-ROM parts catalogue. The 1600 upright fan engines currently in use on Mexican Beetles (ACD series motors) and Brazilian Type 2 vehicles (UGA series motors) are different again in that their full flow filter is screwed into a flange which is bolted to the oil pump in a style made by EMPI and others in the past.
