Pennzoil Marine Premium Plus 2-Cycle Synthetic Blend "TC-W3" okay in small air cooled engines?

Go to orileys and buy the quart bottle of Lucas 2 cycle oil for $10. It's got the correct ratings for your needs.

I dont support snake oil companies.
Maybe their 2 cycle oil is ok.. but with the other junk they sell.. I vote with my money.
I'd rather give VP Racing my money for JASO FD rated 2 cycle oil.

So I have been feeding a steady diet of 50:1 Pennzoil Marine Premium Plus 2-Cycle Synthetic Blend Oil into my Weed trimmers, chainsaws and backpack blowers for a number of years now without anything bad happening...

However I stumbed across some information that said the TC-W3 2 stroke oil is only for use in water cooled two stroke Marine applications because air cooled two stroke engines run much hotter. This got me thinking.... Have I been doing slow and/or unnoticeable damage to my equipment by running the TC-W3 oil??

Pennzoil also offers a "Pennzoil Premium Outboard and Multipurpose 2-Cycle Oil" that is both TC-W3 and ACI TC rated and when comparing their "flash point" and "viscosity" specs i don't see any significant differences.

I've also found ACI TC rated oil specs from other manufacturers with higher or lower flash points than both Pennzoils I've mentioned above.

Am I looking at the data all wrong? Why shouldn't I keep using the Pennzoil Marine Premium Plus 2-Cycle Synthetic Blend Oil TC-W3 rated oil in my little air cooled engines?

I really want to know how this could make any difference! I've attached spec sheets below....

I heard that Marine 2smoke oil gets fired in air cooled engines.
I've never decided I needed to test that theory as echo redarmor is probably just about the best 2stroke oil for the money, run it at 40:1.
