  3. Search for the target object and click View/Edit.

  6. Select the Custom function.

  7. Enter a formula to adjust the mileage value by adding or subtracting the desired amount.

  8. Click Save.

The example below adds 10,000 km to the mileage. It uses the Virtual Odometer parameter and converts meters to kilometers:
