It's been a long time since I went to an oil-change place. Can they really track how much oil they put in your engine?

I just remember a guy with a hose connected to a box on the wall that dispensed oil. Does he dial in the amount of oil a particular car needs, and dispense exactly 4.3 quarts? Or does he keep checking the dipstick when he gets close?

Anyhoo, looking forward to my next change. I plunked down a couple bucks for a magnetic oil drain bolt, and can't wait to put it into play!
