Odomoter should be reset?

I just got a new engine from mazda due to low compression. I got it back today and I figured the odomoter would be back to zero, but it was still at 21k. Am i missing something here?

You got paperwork stating that the mileage was 21k at the time of the engine replacement? No legitimate dealer is going to reset an odometer.

You can't reset the RX8 odometer! You can have it replaced to start at 0 miles again. My dealership misplaced or dumped my original odometter when I had an electrical problem & installed a new one.They had to mail DMV some paperwork stating that problem.

I had my engine replaced and I didn't have mine reset or replaced. The rest of your car still has the miles so I don't see why it should.

this is comical!

So, everyone in the world that gets their engine replaced should get their odometer set to zero? ****, remind me at 100k miles to replace my engine, and then sell the car at a premium price for a 2004 RX8 with zero miles in the year 2010.

seriously, this is stupid.
