Need a better designed oil pan

As such, the Daytona Coupe pan (55363) can hold an additional half quart, bringing the sump capacity to 6 1/2 quarts. Running the WIX 51515 filter (the larger sized filter) will add another half quart(?). So, this comes out to about '7ish' quarts at each oil change? Just trying to figure out the total capacity.

To be honest I am not sure it is between 7.0 and 8.0. Before I installed the pan I had to cut the dipstick since it a universal length. So I mounted the dipstick to the pan cutting as required. Then I filled pan with water and marked dipstick for low and high. I then drained the pan, dried the pan and then installed on the motor.
