I wonder what the difference between the Vietnam made Microguard/Select and the Made in China STP/XL would be considering made by the same company.
Good question. I am bit confused as I didn't think there was any relation to the STP lineup. I thought the Vietnamese "Microgard" was strictly an O'Reilly's filter.I wonder what the difference between the Vietnam made Microguard/Select and the Made in China STP/XL would be considering made by the same company.
The one for the OP's vehicle that STP XL is made in China. They are both made by Premium guard. I know the ones for my Jeep the STP regular is 11665 is made in Korea (made by First Brands I believe) and the 11665XL is made in China by Premium GuardAren't the STP XL's made in USA currently??.. They are always flipping around suppliers but I have seen several recently that were First Brands.

The STP XL oil filter for my truck is USA made by Champ Labs. I swung by Autozone earlier today b/c I was curious what it was. Looks exactly the same as what a Fram Tough Guard (Old 10k version) has been for my truck. Included a silicon O-ring.Aren't the STP XL's made in USA currently??..

That is correct! XL is $9.99 I didn't get to look at the Non-XL STP oil filter b/c it was sold out ($5.79)$9.99 ??

I can't complain... putting the same filter in a Fram box bumps the price to $20.Yeah I think your model is one product that you are getting a deal on at AZ for an extended life filter as those are much more expensive from any other brand on amazon or ebay or local.
