Somebody Please Help

I have a Procharger P1SC on a 04 F-150. I am at the Slamfest car show in Tampa right now and have a 4 hour drive home tomorrow. My problem is that one of the screws on the charger(the one next to the dipstick) backed itself out somehow and I lost about half of my oil before I realized it. My question is, is there another oil that is compatable for this unit that I can pick up at a local parts store? I know I can take the belt off and limp the truck home but would rather not because I have it tuned for the blower and dont have the tuner with me. Any responses would be appreciated.

If you can find a near 0 weight synthetic oil you can get it home. GM sells a type for the Eaton blowers, might be able to find it at a nearby Chevy/GMC dealership.

A little late now but FWIW you can drive with the blower belt removed. Your tune should be based on the amount of air flowing past the MAF. The more boost you make the more air flows past the MAF. So, no boost equals less air flow. The tune will adjust for this. This was one of my concerns too. When deep in the woods if ever I have a blower failure I want to be able to drive home.
