What size/part number is the drain plug on Hybrid e-CVT?

After lots of searching I can't find the size or part number for the drain plug on my 2025 Hybrid AWD e-CVT. Anyone know? It's a 14 mm hexagonal bolt head.

Thanks, BK007. Unfortunately, that's not the correct plug. That one is a magnetic drain plug with a 3/8" square ratchet drive head. Here is a screenshot of the plug from the service manual...

Hmm.. That's strange. Is your eCVT a HF45 or HF55?

Maybe something similar to 7T4Z-7A010-B? That's what they show for the Ecoboost 8F35 transmission?

Ford's consumer-facing parts site is awful, I would go to a dealer parts counter or at least call them.

ETA: Another thing, I'm guessing there is a separate fill and drain plug?

Thanks, let me clarify the purpose of my question. The drain plug is perfectly fine. However, when reinstalling it, I misread the torque specs and started torquing it to 30 lb. ft. instead of 115 lb. INCHES! It started to loosen like it was stripping the aluminum and I stopped and realized my mistake. It is not leaking after about 70 miles of driving but next time it gets removed, I'm afraid I will need to helicoil or time-sert the drain hole.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Yes, there is a separate fill plug.

That sucks.
I could see me doing the same thing
That's why I don't own any torque wrenches. Somehow I made it 71 years without one. I've never lost a wheel. I've never had a drain plug fall out or strip. I've never had trouble removing spark plugs that I put in.
Although, I preferred spark plugs with the crushable washer. They always came out easier.
