oil drain plug was undertorqued at factory

I just did my first oil change at 1372 mi and the oil drain plug came loose with like zero pressure on the wrench! Seriously, I just started to apply pressure with the socket wrench and it started to turn! No, I am not a body builder or strong guy. Anyone else note this?

I'm going to put a separate post re what I like to use for the torque wrench. 25 nm = 18 ft-lbs = 216 in-lbs is too little to even show on most 100 ft-lb torque wrenches and my inch-lbs wrench only goes to 200.
