My take on it is stay away from TC-W3 in sleds it's a PWC boat spec Say you have a "dirt bike oil" that is TC-W3 rated. but if your boat motor recommends TC-W3 then yes it will interchange or vice versa.
Two stroke oil is meant to do the same in every application however add packs can be different for different demands.
Example a boat motor usually stays at a specific RPM range for long periods While a sled can rev to the moon and back and the RPM's are always changing.
sled oil's usually uses a low ash detergent better for it's cyclic use. Boat oils (TC-W3 rated)use ash less dispersant to avoid plug fouling from the metallic ash that may build up during constant run speeds. From a lubricity standpoint both will do the job.
it's all in the add pack TC-W3 in water JASO in bikes sleds...
