can anyone verify this?

It is a lifetime fill fluid. It is Toyota ATF"WS". The WS stands for "world standard" they changed it from 2003 to 2004 and removed the transmission dip stick. Even though I don't tow I plan on having my 2004 serviced at 50K miles and I will make sure that the service advisor notes that "WS" ATF needs to be used. I want to have it done at 50K miles so that if any problems arise it will be covered under the 60K mile warranty. Figure that it will then give me 10K miles for any problems to show up. By the way you have to use the Toyota WS fluid, there is no equal made and don't believe anyone that says the Amsoil or XYZ company makes one that will work. If you do you will be paying for a new transmission out of your own pocket.
