Q
does the odometer reset with a new engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
No, installing a new engine in a vehicle does not reset its odometer. The odometer measures the total distance a vehicle has traveled, not the distance traveled by any single part of it. Resetting the odometer is generally illegal and considered fraud in many jurisdictions because it misrepresents the vehicle's overall wear and tear to potential buyers. Despite the engine being a significant component, replacing it does not negate the wear on other parts such as the transmission, chassis, or suspension. Therefore, the odometer continues to reflect the total mileage of the vehicle itself, not the engine. It's important for car owners to keep detailed records of major repairs or replacements like engine changes, including the mileage at the time of the replacement, for full disclosure during resale or for personal records.
