Yep. It’s not an “alternative” but the correct one. It’s worked fine in my old Sienna with nearly 450,000 miles and it worked well in my 26 year-old BMW.Dexron VI
The old DEXRON-III specification was not required to retain its viscosity like DEXRON-VI fluids. It may start out thicker but DEXRON-VI is guaranteed to retain the viscosity better. That is a key aspect of the upgraded specification along with superior oxidation resistance. DEXRON-VI is a superior specification in every aspect.I think I would stick to a Dex III type fluid. Dex VI might be too thin in that vintage with high mileage but hopefully our very knowlegeable member @clinebarger will chime in.
I agree with your statement and you certainly have proof to back up you up based on your signature alone. I would still like too see what input @clinebarger might have especially when the OE fluid was plain old Dex III.The old DEXRON-III specification was not required to retain its viscosity like DEXRON-VI fluids.

I was thinking about using walmart supertech mercon V, The label says it's compatible with Dexron II and III...Any universal multivehicle ATF
I'd use Mobil1 ATf
If that is out of your budget, then find some Asian/Import/HM Castrol/Pennzoil/Valvoline ATF
Any Mercon-V is a great choice too
And this would be a better choice than Supertech DEXRON-VI how?I was thinking about using walmart supertech mercon V, The label says it's compatible with Dexron II and III...
