In a nutshell, the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 requires SAE 80W-90 oil, also known as gear oil, for its differential. This fluid is crucial for the axle's performance under pressure and should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles to maintain optimal axle lubrication and prevent issues like audible noises or gear locking, which could cause serious internal damage to the vehicle if not addressed promptly.
