If the Mini is turbocharged....I HIGHLY recommend increasing the OCI.

And with the Yaris being known for its fuel dilution problem, even prompting Amsoil to issue a warning about following Toyota's normal OCI replacement (5k miles) for their 25k mile rated oil filter, I sure wouldn't choose an OCI based on how other vehicles do.
