Mixing types of engine oil
I'm planning to do some basic maintenance on my 996, like the changing oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter, but need to order the parts. Since my engine oil is getting a bit low, and since I want to hit some canyon roads this weekend, I was thinking to add some new oil while waiting for the parts to arrive. I have no idea what oil is currently in the car, though. Will adding some Mobile 1 0W-40, and so potentially mixing different types of motor oil, have any drastic short term negative effects?

Mixing of oil will cause a chemical reaction resulting in production of toxic fumes and possible spontaneous combustion.
It will also cause immediate IMS bearing failure, RMS leakage, AOS intermix, cylinder bore scoring, dropped valves, pulling to the left under braking, premature clutch wear, and your radio to play nothing but rap.
Oh wait, I thought today was the 1st. Never mind!

Mixing oil will also cause spontaneous cowlicks.
Just make sure you change it every 60 days before it goes bad. (j/k!!! although I have had a tech swear that is the best plan to help put his kid through college)
