Oils aint Oils

Can any one tell me if its safe to use another brand of oil in my 02 GTX DI?
I've been looking into some manufacturers and the only two I can find that the manufactueres calim is safe for use are:

CASTROL POWER 1 TTS RACING
Castrol Power 1 TTS Racing is an outstanding full synthetic, low smoke, high performance two-stroke engine oil. It is specifically designed for the latest generation of high output air and water-cooled Japanese and European two-stroke motorcycle engines. It provides excellent lubrication for most competition, street and off-road motorcycles and is our prime recommendation whenever a higher level of engine protection is required. It may also be used in Go-Kart racing engines, or wherever Castrol Activ 2T is recommended. The product exceeds JASO FD and ISO EGD.

And:
QUICKSILVER FULL SYNTHETIC PWC 2 CYCLE ENGINE OIL 3.78LT0
SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR USE IN ALL MANAFACTURERS 2 STROKE PERSONAL WATERCRAFT PRODUCTS

Has anyone tried these? Any advise would be appreciated.......thanks!!

Any oil that is API-TC certified is fine. The Quicksilver PWC is perfectly safe.

One more thing to add......


If you see a dual spec on the label like.... "TC-w3, but safe for API-TC"....... DON'T USE IT. Look at the label, and if it says "Ashless"... do not use it. The rough rule is that the additives that make it a API-TC, and Low-ash, will not pass the TC-w3 tests.

TC-w3 oil is better for the environmental, but offers less protection.
