Toyota and the Japanese in general do not "license" specs the way that American and Europeans do. They don't require formal licensing/approval for WS in the way that, say, Dexron does.
Just look for any ATF that says Toyota WS on the back and you'll be fine
The very popular Maxlife ATF will work great.
So basically anyone can just print WS on the label and you will take their word for it?
