OK, as promised I fitted a Denso 150-1013 (tall) oil filter to the LoveFab car today.
First off, the box does say "made in Japan" FWIW.
In terms of fitment, it worked......but I did have to remove the 12mm bolt that locates the e-brake line to the sub structure and push that aside.
Even so, there wasn't enough room to use an oil filter wrench on the filter so I had to tighten it completely by hand (no sweat getting a 1/4 turn past 'seated' with grippy gloves....but I do score that as a minor PITA ;^)
