2009 = 5 speed
There is only two differences, 2 or 4wheel drive. And the only difference is the 4wheel drive has a deeper pan (holds more fluid) therefor uses a different filter.
If you are buying the filter from the dealer all you need is the VIN and they can hook you up.
If you go to a local parts house they will need to know 2 or 4wheel drive, engine size, etc.
I changed mine at 120,000 miles and the fluid was not burnt. There was also no sludge in the bottom of the pan. The reason I pulled the pan was because it had rusted out over the exhaust crossover pipe.
My transfer case oil was badly discolored. An easy change though...

I would change it not knowing how the previous owner treated it.
