How do you tell if your cars odometer is in miles or kilometres?

Find a location with a known, sign pointed distance to, like the next rest area, the next junction, or the next town.
Ideally, it should be at least 3-5 miles, but preferably longer (or kilometers) to make the result easier to determine.
Then just check your odo when you pass the sign, memorize the number, drive to the posted spot and check your odo again. If your odo has counted up the same number of miles (or maybe one off) as what's on the signs, then your odo is using the same units as on the signs.
Or borrow a GPS to compare with, they usually have an ODO function in them as well.
Or check what distance you get with your car, then ask a friend what distance (s)he got with another car.

Why was the odometer important?
The odometer is important because it tells you when you are due for an oil change. I think you're supposed to have an oil change every 10,000 miles or so, but im not sure so don't trust me; your mechanic will tell you when you are due. The odometer is also used in determining the value of a used car. For example, a car with 16,000 miles on it is a lot better than a car with, say, 200,000 miles on it. The less miles, the better.
