I stopped in today and talked to Lex at work. He filled me in on oil analysis 101. He even gave me the March discount early.
I told my SA I'm brining my own oil in and he said no prob.

I switched to Mobil 1 5w-50 for my '15 991 GTS, '96 993 C2, and even my '91 bmw e30 325i. I had been using Liqui-Moly 5w-40 in the e30. Love the Mobil 1 5w-50. I don't drive the 911s during the winter, so I really do not see the need for a 0w-40 oil. If I recall correctly, the Mobil 1 5w-50 performs better than 0w-40, 5w-40, and even the 15w-50 I previously used in my 993.
BTW, changing the oil and filters (2) is a real PITA in the 993, especially as compared to the 991.

My dealer does not stock Mobil 1 5W-50. Last November Napa had it on sale for $5.99/qt. I bought several cases. Had the oil changed on my new GTS at 5000 miles at the dealer. No problem! As Lex says, 5W-50 is best for water-cooled engines. I used 15W-50 in my air-cooled 1995 993 for 15 years.

Or you can buy 5 quart jugs of mobile 1 for 25 bucks shipped free to your house from Walmart anytime you actually need it. 0 weight as it comes from the Porsche factory.
