Narrative:
During climb we had EICAS message lt oil filter. QRH procedure was complied with resulting in an inflight shutdown of the left engine. After EICAS msg ATC clearance obtained for intermediate level off to deal with the problem. QRH procedure was complied with. After throttle was slowly retarded and oil filter msg remained. Engine failure/shutdown procedure was accomplished. We contacted flight control and informed them of our problem and intentions of returning back to ZZZ. They agreed and amended release to read (artr) was obtained. We considered burning down to max landing weight but after dumping center fuel (approx. 24;000 pounds) we determined it would be an unacceptably long time to reach that weight. Best course of action was an overweight landing. Flight control assisted in working on landing performance numbers. Uneventful approach and landing was accomplished with a landing weight of 349;400 pounds. Unassisted taxi back to ramp.
