Castrol 2T for premix?
I came across four pints of Castrol 2T two stroke oil for motorcycles, scooters, etc. It's blue but does not say 3tcw anywhere on it. Would this be a good fluid for premixing? Same ratio?
I don't want to start yet another premix/don't premix debate; I've read at least 10 of those. I just want to know if this is good stuff or not.
I still run my omp (I think it works) and have decided to always premix as a backup/additional protection. I'm still considering whether or not to ditch the omp altogether someday.

I use 2T and have used it for years. Never torn down a fresh engine that had new parts after using it however.
I find it isn't smokey even if you run 100:1, smells nice, and is pretty cheap. I use around 200:1

Thunkd - It doesn't say it's for F.I.. It says its for pre-mix or injected systems, which means can work for something like an outboard that has a separate tank that holds the two-stroke and injects it into the fuel at combustion.
I'm pretty sure this stuff will be fine, I just wanted to know if it was good, bad, or ugly. Will it do a better or worse job than tcw3? We'll see. As long as it lubricates.
