Any injector oil should be okay but personally I'd stay away from brands I never heard of.

You're welcome. I thought there would be some different opinions about it.

I used Quicksilver PWC full synthetic oil from Walmart in my old Polaris 2 stroke. Comes in a 1 gallon jug. Absolutely no smoke!

Quicksilver is good oil. A lot of people down our way used it even though designed for outboards with the tcw3 rating. Heck even Polaris first told us years ago any oil with a tcw3 rating was ok to use as a substitute for Polaris injector oil. Think people mainly used it because it was the same color blue as Polaris oil. Even though Lubetech packaged all Polaris blended oils.
