Let me guess...you have a mid 90s Ford.
Yeah, pushing that odometer reset putton while moving knocks those gears out of whack. They eventually wear down, anyway.
I'll hold off on answering your other question until you provide relevant info regarding your vehicle.

yeah but a digital one should be fine maybe just go through your manual and srew around with the trip button..my car has the GM driver information that tell you MPG, real time fuel milage and the trip computer but you have to go trough it to get back to your main odometer readings..

LOL, or a 1980s-early 90s Mercedes.  They were notorious for that too. Seems as if the little gears get broken over time. Mine stopped working last week. Its only $60 for parts and about $25 labor, so I am getting it fixed soon. |

Not sure? How do you go about determining when your oil needs to be changed? |

You can add the mid to late 90's Volvos to that list too.
