Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of any vehicle’s engine. A well-maintained engine ensures smooth and efficient output and extends the life of the car. However, many car owners make mistakes when it comes to these routine maintenance tasks. Something as simple as an oil change can significantly impact the performance if done incorrectly. Here are some of the most common oil change mistakes that car owners must avoid. Neglecting the recommended oil change interval One of the most significant mistakes car owners make is ignoring the recommended oil change interval. Every vehicle has a manufacturer’s recommendation that suggests when the oil should be changed periodically. This interval is typically based on factors like the type of oil used, driving conditions, and the specific engine design. Ignoring or extending this interval can lead to significant engine damage and decreased fuel efficiency. Check the Dodge owner’s manual and adhere to the suggested oil change schedule to keep the engine running optimally. Using the wrong type of oil Choosing the wrong type of oil is another common mistake that can have serious consequences for the engine. Dodge engines are designed to operate with specific oil viscosities and formulations.

Individuals with disabilities or certain extenuating circumstances often qualify for federal aid. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are two such aid programs that offer assistance to individuals who meet the eligibility criteria, such as a qualifying disability and limited income and resources, set by the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, there are several reasons why the SSA may deny one’s claim, making it advisable to hire an attorney. The application process One could apply for the Social Security disability program online, over the phone, or in person. In either case, the process follows a couple of general steps: You will need to gather the information and documents you need to apply. The application must be completed and submitted. The application is reviewed by the SSA to ensure the basic requirements are met for the disability benefits. The administration will confirm you have worked sufficient years to qualify and evaluate current work activities. The administration processes the application and forwards the case to the Disability Determination Services office in your state. The state agency will make the disability determination decision. Understanding representation While the process seems fairly simple, there’s a lot of complex documentation involved, and hiring a lawyer could come in handy.

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people with certain disabilities and people over 65. Original Medicare has two main parts: Part A, which covers the cost of inpatient services, and Part B, which covers the cost of outpatient services and certain medical equipment. Although the program is meant to ease the financial burden of medical costs on people, it can be quite complex to navigate. This article explores 11 things that are excluded from Medicare coverage. 1. Medically unreasonable services and supplies Any services and supplies deemed unnecessary or unreasonable for diagnosis or treatment are not covered by Medicare. These may include: Services that could have been furnished at a lower-cost setting (such as at a nursing home) Services that exceed Medicare length of stay limitations Excessive therapy or diagnostic procedures Unrelated screenings, tests, examinations, or therapies (that the patient has no symptoms for) Unnecessary services based on patient diagnosis, such as transcendental meditation Exceptions to this rule include Medicare preventive services, transitional care management, chronic care management, and advance care planning. 2. Opticians and eye exams While Medicare covers ophthalmologic expenses (such as cataract surgery), it does not cover the cost of most vision services, including eyeglasses and contact lenses or routine examinations for prescription and fitting.
