The maintenance schedule is in your owner's manual. If you don't have a hard copy then you can find it on-line. For Yamaha gas carts, the most popular in The Villages, it actually takes a quart of oil (10 mins to change, most of that time is waiting for it to fully drain). If you are driving around with 8 ozs of oil, you won't be driving around for very long ;-) Regarding frequency of oil changes, it depends on how much you use your cart (see your owner's manual).

Regarding what else is needed for a Yamaha, here is a sample:

-lube the clutches (2 mins)
-check belts for wear and replace when needed (varies)
-replace air filters (not as frequently as you would think, 2 mins)
-replace spark plug (not as frequently as you would think, 2 mins)
-check free play in brake cable (2 mins)
-change differential fluid (10 mins)
-check front end toe (2 mins )
-etc.

These things are actually easy to do yourself.
