This is one of those things where I'm sure other types of oils work just fine. But for the cost and how infrequently this needs to be done you might as well just order a bottle from whipple.

I'm really not sure you have to use "supercharger" oil specifically... whatever that is lol. However its cheap enough to just pick up bottles of it and use it.

Everything you want to know about the fluid is in the the last paragraph ("Note") at the end of this section:

For the short version, the ester oil is made by Nye, and the GM/Delco/Ford bottles all contain the same product from them.

I called whipple on this a few years back when I changed the oil on my 2.3 and the tech I talked to said go down to a GM dealer and get part 12345982, you'll need 2 bottles (that was for a 2.3 gen 2 whipple fyi).

It was relatively inexpensive back then (maybe 2013 iirc), like $10-$12 per 4 ounce bottle
