Is this the correct ATF FLUID for my 3rd gen runner?

Yes, i've read through a dozen long posts where people are using a wide variety of fluids for their ATF swaps.
Is this fluid ok for my third gen (205,000 miles) transmission?
What about my power steering?
What if the synthetic mixes with generic fluid ...any issues?

Thanks !!

Cheap Orielly's brand Dex III. Occasional drain/fills more much more important than brand.

Castrol Import Trans-Max here, but mine specifies T-IV fluid for the trans. You really can't go wrong with any name brand ATF as long as it's the right spec.
