V8 Turbo Oil Screen

I am a new owner of a 2014 Continental with 43k miles.
Should I replace the turbo oil screen or will frequent (5-7k miles) oil changes make it unnecessary?
I plan to have the car for many years and am inclined to either do it myself or have someone else do it.
I know of the JHM filter relocation kit but am leaning toward the replacement Audi screen.
I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Trust your instinct. Better safe than sorry. 🙂

keep looking at the website for the kit to do it but don’t really want to do it myself, possible but would be much better with a partner,
Don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to find an independent shop to install my parts.
I believe that I will do an engine oil flush by adding some additive before my next oil change and change oil frequently.

I contacted the local dealer twice asking for recommendations from them but obviously they don’t want to answer that question as I never got a response.

it runs so well I hate to put a wrench to it.

What are your thoughts?

I will try to reply again as my earlier reply was truncated,

I have not done anything with the Bentley turbo oil screen as yet.
