Narrative:
After starting engines just prior to departure; crew noticed amber 'clogged oil filter' indication for one of them. Called maintenance via telephone (no company maintenance available at the airport) while checking MEL for possible deferral. With consent of maintenance rep; departed after complying with MEL requirements; which included checking for/clearing certain error messages; which we erroneously believed would appear on one of the cockpit eied screens. Discovered upon arrival at base airport after consulting with maintenance rep that these messages would only appear on a laptop computer that had downloaded them via the aircraft cockpit data port. Postflight performance of this procedure revealed that we had in fact flown with these error messages. This incident could have been avoided by verifying with our maintenance rep the exact method of obtaining these messages; and not assuming that they would appear on the cockpit eied screen.
