Adding wings to the sides is the best option to increase the capacity not the oil level. You will need baffle's to stop surge and therefore loss of oil pressure which is the last thing you want. Fitting an oil cooler will have the effect of adding slightly more capacity and cool the oil but make sure you fit a thermostat to it as well ,low oil temp is as bad as too high a temperature.
Main thing is to make sure the pick up will always be covered in oil no matter what !s


Follow Spud,s advice and fit a guage and a large warning light.
