The odometer records the total amount of miles your car has traveled. As you drove the car more, more miles got put on the car, and so it changed from what it used to be to the amount of miles traveled now.

Its not illegal to change the digital odometer on a car. Any digital odometer can be program. I can program a digital odometer from the oldest to the newest cars. Some cars I need to have them with me, but most can be sent over the mail. Go to usaodo.com. All cars have either an eeprom or a microcontroller that saves it in memory. You only need to know how to program the chip or the processor and what memory to change, what to change it to. Its not cheap equipment and software, but to have it done is cheap. Changing a digital odometer is not illegal, making profit off of it or not disclosing that it has been changed is illegal. I'm pretty sure that's illegal
The odometer measures the distance the car has travelled.
likely on the back of the odometer, it depends on the car. You can likely find out by calling the car manufacturer
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.
You cannot reset the odometer in your car, however you can reset your trip odometer.
It is the mileage that is actually on the car. If the odometer is replaced, the correct reading is written down. Add that to the reading of the replacment odometer and you have the actual mileage on the car.
