Advice on cleaning the filter screens that filter engine oil prior to it going to the variable valve timing oil control valves in a 2002 Toyota Sienna, 3.0 liter V6. Where are these screens? How should I clean them? Better to clean them or replace them? Any videos out there? Thank you.

The oil control valve filters are screwed into the back of the cylinder heads above the transmission.

Just curious-why do you want to clean/replace them?
