    These are made in Japan and use Aisin transmissions with the T-IV fluid. Fords use Ford transmissions that use Mercon fluid. They also have a dipstick and normal drain plug.

    Oil on spark plugs

    I have a 2014 with 52k miles and decided to change my plugs because mileage has dropped off the past year and there's a gas smell from the exhaust when I first start it. One plug in the front had oil on the insulator like the o-ring is leaking but 2 in the back had oil on the threads and all...
