trip odometer reset at 10,000
As topic states... Anyone else have their trip odo reset on itself? I was pissed then I rationalized that I got to 9,999 then it "rolled over." My trip a overall mileage is gone. Well I'm at 10,056miles by me. Anyone have confirmation of this? Thanks

I never let mine get that high but it doesn't surprise me it rolls over after a certain mileage. For me, Trip A is mileage on the current tank, Trip B is mileage on the current oil since changing it. IE right now A: 205.8 miles, B:1146.1 miles.
Why would you need one of your trip odometers to go more than 10,000 miles? -C

I used trip a for total; I usually leave it on that because I like to see tenth of mile. Trip b is since fill up. Oil is written down. Work miles are written down too. I could use a for trips or how many miles driven at work.

I use Trip A for gas mileage, and Trip B for oil change also...I just started using Amsoil oil too, rated to be good for up to 25,000 miles. I guess I'm going to have to find another way to keep track..

I go by 5k intervals.. oil change 5k, 10k, 15k, etc... easy to keep track of. It doesnt matter if you are a couple hundred miles above or below your expected oilchange

And for us poor people who are metric, our trip odometer only goes to 10,000 kilometres (6200 miles). I really do not use my trip odometers. And like ilikerice I go by 8k intervals for my oil changes and use spritmonitor.de to keep track of my car expenses. I am Rollerskate on spritmontior.

On topic: I'm not sure what to tell ya. I've never met anyone who wants to know the total mileage of their car to the tenth of a mile or uses their trip meters above 10K miles. In fact, most of the people I know don't reset their trips at all and just let it click off miles. And that really gets under my skin. I HAVE to reset it after every tank. -C
