I think adding a different oil would be relatively risk free. Remember Amsoil does not make the products--they are a blender. They don't talk about what is in it and I am pretty sure it is the same stuff everyone else is using. Anyhow, there shouldn't be any chemical reactions that would cause any problems. My first thought was to use some other synthetic. My second thought was a regular oil might have the most inert properties and would only slightly dilute the amsoil. One for sure way is to either change it all or wait until you get some more. You probably know, but "low" means lower than the lower mark.

That is too low. Why not just get some more amsoil?

Amsoil is a blended oil product. I've run it before. Haven't had any probs. however. If that line is leaking. Fix it. It will save u 8$ a qt. or maybe it's burning if!?

Amsoil isn't anything special. Throw some SuperTech in there and cruise on until you can fix it.

Better to have adequate mixed oil than insufficient oil.
