Are all 2 stroke oils the same?

[BearLakeFishGuy]

After running different oils for different motors (Polaris oil for Polaris, Quicksilver for Mercury, Yamalube for Hamaya's, etc.) I've come to the conclusion that they are all the same. I've been running Wal-mart brand two stroke oil in everything for about 4 years and absolutely no problems with anything! Do what you want to, but as long as the oil has the ratings for SG, MG, etc. its all the same. Gas is more important, I run premium in everything (maybe an overkill, but what's about $1.00 extra per tank when gas is $3.50+/gallon, right? Run straight gas, no ethanol or methanol mix, and you will be fine.
