Saw lots of those on a BMW that I swapped a clutch on. It is in fact an inverted torx socket. Not sure of the size but looks like a T45 ...
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

You can force either a 3/8 or 10 mm 12 point on there in a pinch, but the inverted torx is definately the answer.
