25.4 microns = 0.001"
A grain of sand I am guessing is 0.010", or 254 microns.

I sometimes feel there's perhaps a little too much optimism on what a
filter
can actually *catch.* It's a while since I was in the parts business and
specifying particular makes for branding (about 15 years) and I'm not
sure
how the media in a modern spin-on will retain particles. I'd be
surprised if
it retains anything smaller than 10 microns which I believe equates
roughly
to one grain of sand? Comments anyone?
