Torque spec for oil filter adapter on 2.3L?

[linkysys]

Does anyone know the torque spec for the oil filter adapter on the 2.3L with performance package (Ecoboost Premium)? I'm assuming no rtv on the gasket? Possibly 8ft-lbs due to aluminum block? I'm forced to replace because the threads are stripped on the oil sensor.

From my '18 FSM. If it looks like this the torque is 18 ft lbs. The damn thing is a bit difficult to navigate but I'm 99% sure this is the 2.3l.
