The A02 is made by FRAM. They were marked Honeywell when Honeywell owned Fram.
I am one of the ones that has compared them. I agree it’s closest to the ToughGuard. It has one extra pleat than a TG but it is taken up by a metal seam clamp not seem on the EG or TG.
Jay/MotorKing who was with Fram prior to Trico has said that the media is unique and stated an efficiency which agreed with the Amsoil test that included the A02. But was unable to go into further detail.
