Two stroke oil_Change type

Hello everyone
I'm currently considering changing the two stroke oil on my 582 Silver top from Quicksilver (very good oil, but extremely expensive) to maybe Castrol or so..!
Will this have any adverse effect considering the motor only used Quicksilver from start..?
I don't want to be penny wise pound foolish at this stage...

How expensive is expensive?
Is it fully synthetic or mineral?
Do you premix or Autolube?
If it is synthetic and you autolube, then you must make sure that the entire system is flushed out completely. I have heard that mixing synthetic and mineral oils can lead to gelling
If it is an mineral oil then Castol Super Ouboard is perfect. I must be certified TC-W3

Super Outboard Castrol is going to cost about R22 per 500ml and you are paying R38. Not too bad
There are other fully synths like TTS that you can look at without having to flush the system.

Hi Morph.I recently bought a trike(503 dual)150 hours on.The previous owner used Castrol chainsaw oil and was wondering if i can change it to synthetic oil like Bp vistra 200.I have heard that one must stick to one brand and that changing is not that good.What do you suggest.Dont know these chainsaw oils that well.

Nothing wrong with Castrol Chainsaw, nice and cheap at about R25/ltr, speak to the go-cart pro's that rev there motors to 10k
