Green valve stem caps
I just bought a 2013 2LT/RS Camaro, love the car, and noticed all of the valve stem caps were green. Would this signify nitrogen gas was used to fill the tires? I have a local tire dealer that will put green valve stem caps on if you elect nitrogen gas when buying/installing new tires from them. Just wondering.

Yes, nitrogen.
|
On our aircraft we use yellow stem caps to indicate nitrogen used in the tires......I'm sure the green means the same

Go with helium. Makes your car lighter. ;)

they use green caps to let you know the wheels have a tire pressure monitor system. I have them on my malibu, and cruze.

I wish my Camaro had nitrogen; then my TPS wouldn't come on and off.

i understand they are "supposed" to indicate notrogen filled, but its not a given, as i have green caps on my cruze and malibu, neither of them were filled with nitrogen, hence the change in preasure when the temps change. |

Just to throw a iron in the fire, the air that we breath is approximately 79% Nitrogen, the Oxygen content is approximately 20%, and 1% other gases. If "compressed air" has over 3/4 Nitrogen, is the 100% Nitrogen really that big of an advantage? Possibly a expert in tires can answer that question.
