^^ bring it to prens (sucat or alabang) or servitek alabang.
i think you also need to see and check if the timing belt needs replacement na.

it can be done, with no negative effect.
however, if you would be selling your car na, parang dinuktor mo na yung kilometrahe ng oto mo, which is tantamount to cheating.
gawa ka na lang ng written record, which i think is better.
and no, hindi yan pwede DIY. may equipment na galing dyan.

Don't reset it. Total vehicle mileage is way more important than the mileage you incur using that vehicle.

Simple mathematics at recording lang naman katapat para sa proper maintenance.
