I went Autozone to check out two filters for my 2008 Volvo XC90 3.2L. This is the standard "5k Mile" filter. You can also check out the other filter I'll be posting that claims it's the "10k miles" version HERE.

If something is "4x smaller" than what the eye can see, it would be approximately 0.025 millimeters in size (0.1mm divided by 4).
 
Are all STP filters China made now? I thought stp was one of the companies that had a higher percentage of USA made filters?

I know Champ Labs makes some STP oil filters as well but STP not being a builder themselves they can pick & choose which filters from whomever they choose.
