Narrative:

The flight crew consisted of an experienced 767 line check airman in the right seat conducting re-qualification operating experience for a returning captain in the left seat.passing FL200 on departure we noticed left oil filter EICAS message. Requested and leveled off at FL270 to conduct checklist procedures. Consulted QRH and ran applicable checklists while turning back west toward potential divert fields. We descended to FL210 for single engine cruise while evaluating our divert options. Left engine was shutdown in accordance with checklist when message remained displayed. We consulted with dispatch and maintenance and selected ZZZ as the best suitable airport. Considerations included familiarity with airport; oe captain's recent simulator training at the airport; weather; availability of long runways; winds; and time available to completely brief the abnormal approach and landing. We declared an emergency and requested crash fire rescue equipment with ATC; briefed the flight attendants and made a PA to passengers. We made an uneventful; overweight; flaps 20 landing to runway xxr; made a logbook entry. Crash fire rescue equipment performed a post-landing inspection and reported no visible irregularities. Taxied back to the gate and deplaned normally.
