Does everyone torque the oil filter housing to 25 ft/lbs?

I'm about ready to do my 1st oil change on my 2026 SXP hybrid (1.6L). It appears that plastic oil filter housing requires 25 ft/lbs of torque to reinstall. To me that sound way to tight. So I'm curious has anyone actually torqued that plastic filter housing to that load (without breaking it)? Let me know what you do, thanks.
NOT CORRECT. It says 25 nm on the cap. Newton Meters.
