Temporary alternative to AMS Oil

Well I need to go on a road trip soon and I finished my AutoRX treatment. I need my first oil change like two weeks ago and I haven't been able to get my hands on any AMS oil yet. Since I can't get it in time by my road trip I'll need an alternative for the first change. Any suggestions? I was thinking about Mobil One 5000? Or maybe Greddy Oil (its blue)...
