Default R18 oil filter over tightened?

Why do I feel it snug up tight (if using a wrench) then when I go slightly more I feel less resistance all of a sudden?

Can someone explain what is happening?

Because you don't use a wrench on the oil filter? Hand tight only!

Can't remember if the R18 has aluminum threads for the oil filter but I suspect it probably does. Probably yeeted the threads off the nipple.
