DexronIII in a Tranny that wants Dexron II E

[TJ2009]

Hi guys, I'll make this snappy for you guys

MY CAR.

VR CALAIS 93', V6, 3.8 LTR.

The manual asks for Dexron II E Automatic Transmission Fluid,
I brought dexron III from super cheap, which I thought was by mistake, because I was like 200% sure it was dexron III I needed to get. then I searched the net, and it turns out that Dexron II is no longer made?

So....

CAN I USE DEXRON III ATF (Valvoline Brand), instead? I read on forums its backwards compatible. Wiki also says Dexron II, its been superceeded by Dexron III, so use Dexron III.(But who trusts Wiki)

Cheers
