Aren'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.
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.
Maybe I'm wrong. I thought the "Select" line was only made in Vietnam nowhere else. ??
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 Guard

Yeah maybe it depends on the model as I have seen several just recently that were First Brands... Now that I check the AutoZone site I see the one for my car.. the S7317XL is shown as China and it does look to be a Premium Guard.
And then here is a new STP XL that is First Brands Champ https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/stp-s10590xl-usa-who-made-it.370656/

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.
$9.99 ??
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)
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.
I can't complain... putting the same filter in a Fram box bumps the price to $20.
