An easy way to increase oil capacity is to go with a remote oil filter setup. Depending on the length of the hoses and size of filter you go with, you could add up to 2 quarts capacity without messing with the oil pan. Plus you're getting the oil filter away from the bottom of the engine where it's vulnerable to road debris.

I've seen people remote their oil filter(s) into the grille and work up a slide on heat sink/fins that slips on over the oil filter(s). A little extra cooling is always nice.

Yes, oil filter(s). Once you find a good mounting location, you can go with one or two oil filters.
