nitrogen in tires
we bought a used 2013 Toyota Sienna van, 39K miles, a few months ago and it has the green valve stem caps, so I assume it has nitrogen in the tires. Still has the original equipment Michelin tires on...

My wifes Rav4 had the green caps on it when we bought it used in 2006 (it's a 2003) and I had to top it off with 78% nitrogen from then on... After a few times of topping off and then getting new tires not too long ago, I found I didn't have to "top off" as often..
To me, it seemed the "nitrogen" filled tires lost PSI faster than it does with just "air" in it...
Dunno what the deal is with paying extra for the green caps when regular compressed air works just as well and I don't seem to lose as much PSI a month either....
If it was me, I'd just use my compressor... ;)
Good luck!
