As long as your oil is changed somewhat regularly then you shouldn't have a problem.
But, all you do is pop off the solenoid, remove the gasket/filter assembly, clean the filter, put it back on (but I would recommend getting a new gasket from Honda as the old one is more than likely...old...and might start to leak, it's like $5 if I remember right)

I replaced both filter/gaskets on the vtec solenoid and i think it cost me around $25 for Genuine OEM Honda parts. Its worth it. You could probably find it online for cheaper, but will end up paying shipping. Just make a quick trip to your local Honda dealer.

The one that I got from the Acura dealer for my B18C1 (just the side gasket/filter...not the top one) was $7 if I remember right...genuine OE part

It would appear that they rape us hard at the dealership in Cali.

All I'm saying is that a couple months back, I purchased the gasket for the side part of the solenoid (#10 and #12) as one piece for around $7
