It's not a question of volume, but one of dimensions and oil control. A shallow pan that's wide has poor oil control, and you need a really good baffle setup to keep that around a submerged pickup.
Ideally we'd all have small diameter, really deep oil pans. You'd get good oil aeration (lots of head pressure to bottom of pan), and you could take ridiculous lateral/longitudinal G's before uncovering the pickup.
But that's impossible to package, so we compromise on smaller factory sumps and try to add baffles to control the oil a little.
Obviously with how many people have smoked K motors in a RWD longitudinal layout, they've got some real problems with oil control in the space provided.
