Question:
Also, since not all gas stations carry nitrogen, can you, simply add oxygen to the tire if it's underinflated?

The difference would be trivial for you. Air is 80% nitrogen. Race cars sometimes use pure nitrogen in the tires because the pressure build-up as the tire heats up is more predictable. With plain old air you have some water vapor and this leads to a less predictable rate of pressure build-up as the tire heats up. Pure nitrogen also has one other minor advantage. It is not reactive. Plan old air contains about 20% oxygen which will react with the rubber inside your tires, but this is trivial.Do you get a high after fixing your own car?
They say it holds more consistant tire pressure. It's supposed to help you get better gas milage with properly inflated tires.as far as just adding air, I am not sure, don't know anyone with it.
how often do you check the oil of your car?
people fill their tires with nitrogen because it does not shrink or expand nearly as much as air does under normal driving conditions, and yes you can add normal air to it if your tire is underinflated83 Mercedes 300D. How do I determine why the vacuum-driven shut off valve is not working?
Nitrogen is more stable and the change in temperature does not effect the tire pressure. In theory it is a good idea, but it is not worth the additional cost. Just check your tire pressure regularly and you can save the $20-40 for something worthwhile!Is the crank pulley supposed to turn? its froze .Dont know how to take it off?
The tires will last longer with nitrogen, because the oxygen in the air promotes, well, oxidation. Whether that is worth the amount charged for nitrogen is another story. I think most tires will wear out long before the nitrogen makes a difference. But in this case, it is literally true that "your mileage may vary."alternator belt instalation costs?
And yes, it is fine to add plain air to nitrogen in your tires. The air is already about 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen. Of course, to the extent that you add oxygen from the air, you lose whatever benefit the nitrogen gives you. That's another reason why I think it is a waste of money.
Good luck!!
What would cause my 86 f150 to smoke excessively out of the breather cap on the valve covers?
nitrogen is designed not to leak out in hot and cold changes in temp keeping your tires at proper inflation,witch results in better fuel economy,its designed not to break down the properties in the rubber compound in your tires meaning longer tire life.Why is the bodywork of cars so fragile and then expensive to repair?
i don't think they are worth the extra cost.95 cadillac deville battery drain?
Nitrogen is a bigger molecule than oxygen. This makes it more difficult to leak through the pores of the rubber tire. It also keeps the tire cooler while up at speed, because it transfers heat better. Since nitrogen doesn't oxidize, it slows dry-rot from the inside of the tire. I've been using Nitrogen for a while, and I love it.is it truth that I can simply put soybean oil instead of diesel and my car will run?
It's OK to use regular compressed air if you can't get nitrogen to refill your tires. Good luck.
How are people that work in new car dealership auto shops paid? What are flag hours?
Nahhhhhhh, waste of moneywhere can i buy rain x or some type of product to help repel water off my windowshield?
All high flying aircraft use nitrogen in the tires and in the air-oil struts, because the pressure does not change with altitude, heat or cold. Whether you would gain any benefit from using it remains to be seen. Weigh the cost against the benefit of not having to check your tires every time you fill up. Weigh the cost of refilling the tire if you run over a nail and it goes flat.The primary benefit appears to be the dealer making an extra buck, because in my neck of the woods, no gas stations have nitrogen, and I would have to go to the airport to get some.
