I am assuming that you used the website online submission and that it was accepted pending review which is different from "confirmed to work".

Suggestion
With the spin off filter from Napa, oil changes are only $60 so I can change after every 2-3 events.

Suggestion
Since most of us agree that 5000 or less OCI is a good idea with 996, I was wondering why one wouldn't just get the mobil 1 0w-40 for less than $5 a qtr and change oil at 3k?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There's a rebate again on the M1 stuff and the rebate has been confirmed to work with Walmart purchases. $25 for 5qt jug - $12 rebate = $13
Rebate:

Oil:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-1-0W...5-qt./23636902
If you're the JI type and would rather pay $300 for some java from hot barista, please ignore this.
But, but, what could it hurt? A simple little innocent question like that. Certainly out of all the oils out there, someone must have figured out the best one for a 996. Oh, and like Billy asks, what weight is best? Anyone have any opinions on this?
There really is no perfect weight. It depends on many factors including accessories whether OEM or aftermarket, height, and density. There probably is an upper limit but that can change depending upon how much alcohol on consumes prior to shopping.
I must be losing it. I can't tell if this post was meant to be serious. Either:
A - very subtle sarcasm and well played
or
B - should really join the 997 forum
How did you determine "confirmed to work"? Walmart is not on the list...Assuming you submitted it around the time of the original post there is no way you got the rebate all ready. I am assuming that you used the website online submission and that it was accepted pending review which is different from "confirmed to work". Can you clarify?
1. The list says it is only a "partial" list of participating retailers.
2. The last two same promos they've had previous years worked via Walmart.
3. Some person called Mobil customer service and verified it via phone.
4. This promo started in March 1st and some peeps already got the proper confirmation through the online rebate status page:

as you said, but I see no reason why it would be denied this year.
Your call, your money
Interesting...I'll have to try the HF oil in my 996 at the next oil change. Been really happy with the Dollar General stuff(Made in the USA baby!). I do mix in some zinc modifiers for the extra protection though. I figure if it's good for the aircooled crowd, it must be good for us watercooled crowd.
Went to WalMart to purchase three jugs yesterday. Why three? Because I had some leftover bottles from a case I bought at NAPA so now I have enough for two oil changes.
Wally World is an interesting place. With the exception of the greeter, people don't seem too happy there. Glad it's not really close to my house so I tend to end up at Target instead when I need my retail store fix. But those low prices ($10 less per jug than my local auto parts store!) more than make up for the experience.
Yeah - I think Walmart is specifically excluded from these promos. M1 is still good value and for normal street driving - obviously "good enough".
I just switch to liquimoly 5w40 from Amazon - yeah about $10 more than m1 for 5ltr - but I want to see if it improves my oil consumption issue. So far, oil pressure seems slightly higher at idle (warm) and the idle seems smoother (but that may just be my imagination) . I haven't hammered it yet to see how low pressure drops - m1 got very close to 1 bar after hard run ..at idle. Uoa however never showed any issues.
I submitted mine online and only when I was all done did it indicate that there was a limit of two per household. I read through the Terms & Conditions, and there is nothing there about a limit. In any case, I got a very good deal at Walmart.com with free shipping.
If any more questions should arise regarding the best weight...this chart should be useful.
To me it depends on weather, if its cold I go with M1 0W-40 and if its hot I use 5W-40
I want a coffee also. Haha. I just purchased a 2002 C4S. I have owned a 98 M3 and ran the redline oil etc. Since most of us agree that 5000 or less OCI is a good idea with 996, I was wondering why one wouldn't just get the mobil 1 0w-40 for less than $5 a qtr and change oil at 3k? You can get Motul, redline or DT40 for more like $10-1$12 a quart but it gets pretty crazy to spend $120 per oil change to change oil every 3K. I drive 20k miles a year, so I guess it matters more to me than the guy who does 4K per year. Any thoughts?
Dt40 was specifically developed for this engine to try and overcome some of its deficiencies and extends its life. If you don't go that route then $5 WalMart oil is probably as good as any.
Mobil 1 0-40 every 5k is fine unless you are tracking the car. I have watched many a motor on the forum over the years grenade some kind of way no matter which oil is being used. dont drink the kool-aid.
I'm incredibly happy that I made the switch. My chain noise at startup is nearly nonexistent now except on very cold days, and even then it's now only for a second or two.
So....Anybody else using Rotella T6? With the spin off filter from Napa, oil changes are only $60 so I can change after every 2-3 events.
Going to put my non-Mobil flamesuit on now
