Message	They said the old style filter was in fact discontinued about 2 months ago. They also said that they have a new style filter, that works for our car. My question is, what is so different about the two filters that are making people think that the new style filter is not as good as the old style? Does anyeon hae an OBJECTIVE detailed reason to believe this? BTW, Coz, Z1, do you guys have any old style filters left to buy?
