Before heading to the dealership, I did a quick google on WS vs non-WS tranny fluid and it looked like the quick consensus was that the WS was a waste of money and people had concerns with it. So at the service counter, I asked for non WS. They obliged but when I got my car back they let me know that they did the WS (and honored the non-WS price), but that I really should use WS in the car going forward.

True or false?
WS is what the manual says and what you would want if maintaining warranty. It is perfectly fine for everyday use. If you are tracking then you may want to try something a bit heavier duty.
