No, replacing the engine in a vehicle does not reset the odometer. The odometer measures the total distance the vehicle has traveled, not the distance traveled by any particular engine. This data is important for understanding the overall wear and tear on the vehicle, beyond just the engine's condition. It's also a legal requirement to maintain accurate odometer readings to prevent fraud. In some jurisdictions, tampering with or resetting an odometer is a criminal offense. That being said, if you replace the engine, it's a good practice to keep detailed records of the replacement for future reference and potential resale purposes. This can include the reason for the replacement, the mileage at the time of replacement, and any warranties on the new engine.
Although engine oil does not have an expiration date. it does deteriorate with time. While six months may not noticeably affect the performance of regularly driven vehicles. it can have consequences for idle ones. Due to exposure to moisture from the air. engine oil can become acidic and harm critical parts of the engine. Moreover. as oil additives play a vital role in protecting your vehicle's engine. their efficiency may decrease over time. Luckily. most contemporary motor oils have a longer lifespan than six months and can even last up to a year depending on the type synthetic or conventional and manufacturer's guidelines. To determine when to change your oil. always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for recommended intervals. If your car is not used frequently. it is advisable to replace the oil at least once a year to maintain optimal engine health.
To remove engine oil stains from concrete, start by applying a generous amount of absorbent material, like cat litter or baking soda, to the stain. Leave it overnight to absorb the oil, then sweep it up. Next, create a mixture of dish soap and warm water, applying it directly to the stained area. Use a nylon-bristle brush to scrub vigorously, as concrete is porous and the oil seeps into its surface. For stubborn stains, applying a poultice made from a paste of baking soda and acetone can be effective; cover it with plastic wrap overnight, allowing it to draw the oil out. Rinse the area thoroughly with water afterward. For best results, consider using a commercial concrete cleaner or degreaser, following product instructions precisely. Repeat processes as necessary. Prevention is key, so consider applying a sealant to the concrete to make future cleanups easier.
