Hello everyone,

I couldn't find a DIY on oil change on a 996 TT

The book shows i can use 0W-40, 5W-40 or 5W-50.

Does anyone know

1-How many places I need to drain oil from ?? I was told 3 places, 2 turbos and the motor.

2-Which oil should I use ? I live in So cal so the weather is between 60 and 90 degrees most of the time .

There is instruction on this site in the DIY section. You have to be a contributor to see it. It is money well spend..... 996TT oil change instruction

You have to drain the oil from 4 position. The bottom of the oil tank, the engine case and the two turbos. The oil in California, I guess Mobil 0W40 is the one used by many peoples....

+1 The DIY is very good here.

Correct, 4 places. Be careful when you do the oil tank, it will dump oil all over the place. I run 0W40 in SoCal and it runs fine... some track days on it as well and no issues.
