Primary Case Capacity

Primary Case Capacity
I have religiously taken my bike into HD for their "services" at 1K, 5K, 10K, 15K. Now I am at 20K and tired of paying $500 every time I take it in for services that I can do. (I am a competent mechanic, not a HD technician)
I have gone through the checklist and everything is within specs following the 2011 Touring Service Manual.
My question is this. I purchased all my oils from my HD dealer. I have been running Redline in my Primary since I had some slippage when they put SYN3 in it. Dealer sold me 1 Qt (32oz) of Primary oil and told me that's all I need.
My service manual says I need 38oz. I called the dealer and he gave me the "Oh that's just a recommendation, we always just put 1 qt in" line. Is this true? Will it hurt anything to only have 32oz? I've changed the crankcase oil many times, but the dealer has always changed the Primary and Trans. oil. Just want to make sure I don't screw anything up and the dealer isn't feeding me a line of bull.
Thanks
