Not bad.
I got my cabin filter from ebay for $20 delivered.
I'm changing my oil every 10k
It's cheap insurance and I'm trying to compensate for the extra kw
The aircon is not smelling great these days so I need a new cabin filter
Stopped into my local Skoda parts dealer on the way to work to get an oil filter and cabin filter
Total cost was $60 - add the oil (Liqui Moly) $65 - pretty cheap piece of mind

Where the heck are you getting LiquiMoly oil for $65? I assume you are getting 5L of 4200TopTec? Im paying $85-90 for that stuff.
Also i see Bold Sport have recently added OEM VW oil filters for the 2.0TSI engines for $15: Bold-Sport.com :: OEM Oil Filter - Priced Each

I can't even buy it at trade price for that, even if I buy it in bulk.

Don't forget there's the guy over near where you work that does US import Mobil1. It's very good value

Sorry to dig up an old thread - better than starting a new one. I looked in the manual but can't find what I am after.
Pollen vs in car cabin filter .. are these terms used interchangeably ? I have seen some videos and can't work out whether it is the same thing or two different filters ?
Looks like my Mk2 Octavia RS will have the "in car cabin filter" that's in the passenger footwell somewhat similar to this video:

Is there another filter under the bonnet / windshield protection or is that for a different model Octavia ?
This looks like the right filter for me - which I will probably get the OEM from the dealer: Wesfil Cabin AIR Pollen Filter WACF0025 | eBay
EDIT:
Mk1 - under windshield
Mk2 - passenger footwell
