I believe Denso makes Toyota's oil filters.
Correct!
The ones I have used all are by them.

Denso uses a cardboard end cap, just like Fram.
Isn't Denso a subsidiary of Toyota? Or is that Nippondenso?

The Denso YDDZ3 (made in Thailand) I recently took apart had no endcap at all. Each pleat in the media was independently welded to itself to close the ends. The ADBV appeared to be quality as did the filter media. The bypass is a real quality piece of steel and plastic construction with a smooth action that was very consistant. The gasket is prelubed and has a unique round profile. The filters also come with plastic film to keep contaminants out during storage. This is the part number for the 4.7L V8 so inspect a filter for you application.

Here is a picture of a used 90915-YZZD1 oil filter. Looks good to me! I am using the longer YZZD3 oil filter used on the V8 toyota's.

Nippon Denso split from Toyota and makes parts for many Japanese cars. For instance, my Acura (Honda) uses some Denso parts, Toyo Roki parts, Sumitomo parts, etc. I'm not sure if they're technically considered Toyota since they separated from them back in 1949.

I have a 2006 Lexus ES 330 which calls for YZZD1 but the YZZD3 fits in the space i have so i use that. You can get 90915-YZZF1 thats longer for a corolla.
