Premixing Supertech TC-W3 from Walmart??

Has anyone used this stuff when premixing? Is it okay to use? The package says it uses an anti gel formula to prevent clogging injectors. Sounds like this might be a useable product. I'm not that knowledge regarding oils and I know there are a lot of differing opinions here on the forums about what is okay to use. I have attached the MSDS in case that can help answer the question

You can use it but really you want a Jaso-FD rated 2 stroke, not a TCW3. This won't hurt but there are better alternatives. But if money is an issue ten by all means use it. My only complaint about the Marine stuff is that it caused my car to smoke a bit. But any premix is better than none

Will a TC-W3 oil damage the cat? Is that why you are catless? I can't run without a cat in California; it is illegal.

Supposedly TC-W3 can hurt the cat converter but then some old rotor heads say that is BS and teamrx8 posted pictures of his cat and it was clean as a whistle and he premixed so I kind of doubt it hurts cat converters.
