Dr. John Conville, who heads automotive product research at BASF Corp., has these five tips for doâ€"itâ€"yourselfers: * Because motor oil tends to deteriorate over time, change it. No matter how little a car has been driven, changing the oil every three to four months is a good idea. In warm weather, heavierâ€" weight oil is advised for effective engine lubrication. * Inspect rubber hoses, belts and tires for wear. Replace them if you see signs of cracks or serious wear.

This simple step alone may help the car run more smoothly and use less gas.
