Ok.Can someone break it down to me like I'm real dumb? I just resized my picture on photobucket (twice actually), so now it's tiny. Yet, when I reload the link into my signature, the picture keeps coming up the same size. Am I missing something?
Somebody already posted your pic resized, just right-click on that, save it to your desktop, upload it onto Photobucket and copy the url/link into your sig.
Thanks, JRT.I thanked VigCS for sizing that for me. I'm justscratching my head over how to do it, in the future, onPhotobucket. I even tried uploading the picture ontoPhotobucket again, at a smaller size. But still the picture remains huge when I load it onto this site.
Sorry I couldn't really help ya much more unless I was sitting there right next to you.
Thanks anyway. It's funny, I just did it exactly how you recommended to, and still the same result. I give up for now.

Thanks for the info on resizing, everyone...and thanks for the resized pic, VigCS. Hey Vig, just so you know, "Twister" is another member of the forum...not to be confused with my black ***.
I'll make note of it.

Most cars list what wade of oil it can use in what temps. If really cold, a high wade oil will freeze. So if you live up north, I wouldnt go higher than 10w-30. And, some cars may have problems getting decent oil pressure if the wade is too high.

weight...[sm=headbang.gif] in otherwords... how much water is in the oil, or how much the oil is thinned.
