Yes but it is a generic marketing claim and not filter specific. Nor does it say on which filter(s) it is based on.
In general, I am very wary of believing filter specs that are in the form of marketing copy paste that are identical for every filter in a family and / or which don't specify which filters the claims are based on. I would even go so far as to say an up to date spec sheet is required to have confidence not least because of changes that are constantly taking place especially when you're dealing with products supplied by a distributor who works with multiple suppliers.
Using the WIX filter finder tool, you can see quite surprising differences in efficiencies between similar size filters with what you might assume are the same media.
In terms of being assured of a highly efficient long life filter that is well constructed, I would either source an Ultra OG through eBay or look for evidence that the current Fram Ultra in the model I require is still properly constructed.
Edited to add: I also find it telling that Premium Guard do not respond to enquiries. Once upon a time, Ecoguard were responding with actual specifications. Premium Guard then acquired Ecoguard. When these companies are small, they welcome enquiries since being responsive is good for reputation and can lead to more sales. Premium Guard have obviously hit the big time with supplying Napa, Carquest, Autozone, O'Reilly and it's a volume / commodity business for them. It's great that they supply such good quality but I don't think the specs matter to them.
