Don't expect your dealer to know how much oil a 4BT holdsIf i do a 4bt swap in a jeep wrangler, can i go to a dodge dealer to get both my engine and tranny oil changes?

I have done MANY engine swaps and extensive projects, and I dont change my own oil......pain to dispose of and not much more to pay someone.My question would be this ... if you aren't going to change your own oil, who is going to put the engine in for you? If the answer is someone other than yourself: why wouldn't you have them change the oil?
I do suppose, however, that the dealer would still change your oil. They would be the ones to ask.
Hell, I'm dumping mine into the fuel tank! 1 gallon per fill-up.I dont change my own oil......pain to dispose of
Hehe....all my stuff is like that. With all the parts stores having no staff that knows about cars I have to give them three or four different year models depending on which section of the vehicle I want a part for. Many times(to be an ass and watch them sqerm) I tell them just what it has in it. This morning for example needed a radiator for the 6BT crew cab GMC, "what engine does that truck have" says the cyber parts jockey...."5.9 cummins" I reply....searching computer franticly......blank stares to follow...."that's not in my computer"I'd like to take mine to the dealer once just for the look on the guys face when he starts it up.
"errr, yah. Can you check it for a bottom end knock too?"

Heater core for a Corvair or valves for an 86 Mazda RX-7 usually gets 'em at the stores around here.Or the best one, I am at the parts store ready to leave just as my neighbor comes in. He brings it to my attention that I was looking for a set of intake valves for my 4-53T Detroit. I confirm this with the guy behind the counter (a friend also), that I am indeed looking for a set, must have forgotten about them while I was getting all my other stuff. A few minuted goes by and mu neighbor has to go outside as he can't hold back the laughter. In the end, about 10 minutes before I too can't keep a straight face any longer. A quick reminder that that Detroit's (two cycle) don't have any intake valves... And if he wanted to be clever (and correct) he would have offered 4 piston and liner kits..
