Yes, the honda filters ending with a02 are fram. If you can find the a01 filters, then get those. They are hastings, I believe. Personally, I just buy whatever I feel like buying. The fram ultra is actually one of the best filters ever made, but for our economy cars, it doesn't matter much as long as the oil is changed regularly. A lot of critics compare the adbv of the various filters, but it doesn't matter if the filter is mounted with the open side facing up! I like to look on rockauto and buy whatever filter I can get for around $3. I have tried all the frams, purolators, supertech, and some bosch, mann, honda, ecogard, pro tec, and more. They all work fine. Just make sure you don't accidentally double gasket it!
