If your parts guy is OK at VX, buy both on the understanding that you can return the one you don't want, also get a copper washer which corresponds disposable cannister type, rubber o ring sump plug for the element type...  About £ 5 each  thru trade club....  per filter and washer that is!  Best quality too...

That's what I did the first time.....  May I also recommend the semi synthetic 10/30 from VX.. the best oil I've EVER used on any vehicle....  

I get no sh1te in my breathers or mayo in the filler cap at all..

Hope this helps

Far easier to do what BoBo says. Take a look under the bonnet - it's right there ....... almost ;)

Its likely to be the spin on type, but double check.  Also, it should have the torx sump, so hopefully no copper washer reqd...  ...again, double check.
