All the new (06+) Honda's should come with the new MTF formulation from the factory... so you've already "experienced" it.

keep in mind that you just said that
but honda spent money on an updated mixture... if there wasn't a difference i dont think they would have put forth such an effort to change it after numerous trans F'ups of the early 2000's and late 90's

Re: (Type X)
Is this "new" trans fluid a replacement for the "old" stuff, or will they be sold together? Anyone know how it differs? I remember about 10 years ago when Honda didn't even have any manual trans fluid and the owners manuals just recommended motor oil either 10w-30 or 10w-40!!

It should be a replacement soon... but as of now I'm still receiving the "old" stuff from my distributor. I imagine that eventually the old fluid will be phased out and the new, updated mixture will be the only fluid you can purchase at a dealership.
You can still use 10w-30/other motor/gear oil in place of the MTF, but the MTF has extra additives to preserve its viscosity and protect gears/syncros better.
