Nope. The Prius unit only holds 4 quarts, and Toyota sells WS for $42/gal.
In the big picture, the price difference is that much. I mean, what, it's an extra $40 over your favorite synthetic fluid (per change) every other year, at most? You probably spend that much at Wallyworld on needless stuff.

I am glad my vehicle uses the T-IV, I am in no mood to spend $12/quart for a tranny fluid!!!
From what I unserstand the WS stuff if reall good trans fluid. I was just curious about a synthetic replacement. Maybe the WS is synthetic and tough for the aftermarket to beat.
Toyota WS is JWS 3324(new spec). There isn't much on the market for it scence it fairly new, compared to Toyota T-IV(JWS 3309). If others started using it, it would be more commercialy availible than it is.
picked up 5qts ws for 4.19 a qt at the dealer today
You picked up Toyota T-IV, not Toyota WS.
Toyota T-IV comes in quart bottles, Toyota WS comes in a one gallon metal can only.
Are you sure your Toyota takes WS? Give me the year/make/model and I can check for you.

toyota part no. 00289-ATFWS pictures to come stay tuned
Guys it comes out to be the same pretty much across the board. A lot of vehicles that I've serviced cost about 50 dollars in fluid and filter to change the transmission fluid.
I have a 98 f150 that takes MerconV transmission fluid. This stuff is about 3.25 a quart after me getting a discount rate from the dealer.
When i fully drain the transmission and converter, it takes around 14 quarts with the extra trans cooler in the front.
Around 45.50 for the fluid, and under 10 bucks for the new pan filter.
Just over 50 bucks.

My 06 Lexus ES330 uses the WS Tranny fluid. My car doesnt even have a tranny dipstick! They call it a "sealed system" and its probably very hard to find this fluid, since toyota claims that this fluid never needs to be replaced. I looked at my maintenence schedule and until 100,000 miles they advise just oil changes, air filters changes and brake fluid changes
