The screen is in a protuberance on the back of the engine, at the bottom of the crank-case. It's most visible from the right side. About the size of a small tomato paste can, it has a fat fitting at the back into which the oil temperature gauge's capillary tube disappears. Don't go undoing things here unless you have the right replacement crush gaskets to put it back together. Also, it's somewhat easy to hose up that little capillary tube or the bulb if you're having a klutzy day. Anyway, there are a bunch of books on how to change your airplane oil and virtually all of them talk about how to deal with the screen. Alternatively, you can pay an A&P to supervise you through the process one time (buy yourself a set of safety wire pliers first).
