Default Engine Oil: Contradictory Info?

Owners' manual for my '03 DS/FE290 says the engine oil capacity is 38 ozs (with filter change) but the "Sticky" for Bi-Yearly Maintenance says 1.6 qts + pre-oiling the filter! This would amount to over 50 ozs, way more than the 38 ozs. Why would the sticky recommend so much more oil?

1 1/4 quarts if your cart isn't lifted and 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 quarts if it is. Ususally works out well when I do oil changes.

What is the oil capacity on the old flat head kf82 motors? I have a 91 club car ds, I just installed a 6" lift, do you guys run more oil in the crank case with the lifts? the engine is at a pretty steep angle since the lift.
