Spin-on type. Simply unscrew in the usual direction. Mine is a spin on and is 1.8.
Do you have a filter removal tool or strap? they do get very tight as the seal swells with contact with oil (this is desirable)

If not, hammer a screw driver through the metal casing near to the engine side and use it as a lever.
I assume it is a spin-on and not an element type in a black (usually) plastic enclosure with a removeable lid
Mine is just the spin on type, used filter strap when I did mine.
Thanks guys, got it off with an old belt but only to find i have been given the wrong filter!!! Just leaving for the local stealer.
