TUNDRA FIRST OIL CHANGE

[workinallthetime]

I think the n2 stuff is kinda funny the way its all came about, everyone has tire pressure monitors now and let me tell you from a service drive point of view most peple either love them or hate them. There are alot of dealers installing the 40k plus systems to sell n2 to the customers. I know n2 is superior to just plain ole o2 but at the end of the day your paying someone to fill your tires up, LOL. If ford would not of had all those firestone tires blow out we probably still would not have a tpm system on everything from a kia to cadi, i love it. so firestone made some bad tires that ford bought then they blew out, some people had a few wrecks on cheep oem tires, ntsb says evey car has to have tpm systems, o2 fluctuates with heat and cold and turns on your tpm light and causes your tires to wear cause ya haventy checked your tire pressure in months, so ya spend 30-100 bucks to get n2 in your tires but hey they through in the green caps for free.
sorry for the rant, have a good day

Nitrogen fluxuates also. Nitrogen is only used in commercial airplane tires and anytime I have ever checked a hot tire it is always above the cold inflation limits.
Nitrogen just does not fluxuate like standard shop air nor does it have the water to deal with.

Nitrogen in a car tire is just not a very practical idea for it's given use.

How about helium in the tires? Inert like N2, but lighter than air. Probably get 100's of miles per gallon.....not!

I wish I could drive it for work! They want me to use the company car or a rental (if needed). Hoping to get over your way on Thursday. Still debating touching up the paint chip or just heading to a body shop. It actually has dinged the metal, and right at a crease. Guess I should just get over it & get it fixed right.
