Holden Captiva5: Engine oil filter

How do I remove the engine oil filter on my Holden Captiva 5 diesel? I cannot unscrew the top. Does it have right or left hand thread? It is on so tight.

The cap has a hex nut on it and you can unscrew it using a regular hex socket. It’s a regular right hand thread. If it’s really tight just go easy, don’t apply too much force.
