The engine is the Type 4 2.0 out of the 914 2.0

On my 914s I use a Mann Filter from GSF Part No. 120VG0080. Most weekends they have a 50% or so discount code. This weekend it is MAY54
Also the strainer gasket kit you will also need, part No. 116VG0020

You should use 20W50 oil in the engine.

Have you checked out the website porsche912E.com

There's a link to the factory workshop manual along with other info.

Try your local car shop, seem to recall it's the same filter used on Sierras or something like that. Same with plugs all pretty standard off the shelf stuff.
