Find me a maintenance schedule or FSM quote that recommends replacing the AW4 screen other than in an overhaul.

But, keep in mind that The vehicle manufacturer names the parts used in their vehicles. Mopar calls it a Filter.

Default AW4 fluid

If you are going by the AW4 manual, you should be using Mercon fluid in your transmission.... LOL
