Well, I believe most 2007 models and all 2008 models come with the newly reformulated Honda MTF.

I have had this stuff put into my 2006 Si coupe twice now in the last year. It makes the shifting a little smoother for about a month, and then it is right back to grinding and popping out of gear.

My personal advice would be to put Amsoil or GM Syncromesh in your Si as soon as you can. Even if your car ends up being one without the problem, why risk it, you know?

If it makes you feel better, get a gauge of your dealership by going there and inquiring about it, and asking the service manager whether or not a non-Honda manual transmission fluid would affect your warranty. It shouldn't, but we have had some people recount their dealer telling them that it would void their warranty.

Personally, I don't know of anyone who has switched to Amsoil who has had trouble with the dealers. And maybe, if it's that important, have a friend or Jiffy Lube swap out the MTF with Amsoil, and Honda will never know the wiser.
