I added dex 6 to dex 3. Was that dumb?

On a TH400 I normally put dexron 3 in but was wanting to drive it yesterday and ended up adding 3 qts of dex 6 because that's all I had on hand and really wasn't expecting to add so much. I thought because dex 6 superceded 3 I figured it be fine.
Thoughts?

Dex 6 is backwards compatible with anything that took Dex3 so should be fine...
