Larry:

If you have the screen, you need to service it regularly (like every oil 
change) so that you can find the metal shavings before the engine self 
destructs.

If you have a filter, you need to cut it open and inspect the media for
the 
same thing, and the same reason.  If you have both, you need to inspect
both.

The oil filter is an STC item.  If it's on the left side of the case
(pilot's 
side) where the bypass for the (optional) oil cooler usually is, then the
STC 
holder is probably El Reno.  Look in your logs for the (required)
paperwork.  
I believe the STC allows for removing the screen, but I'd leave it in.
Belt 
and suspenders, you know.

Familiarize yourself with your engine, airframe, logs, and accepted
methods 
and procedures.  It's your neck.

John
