Anyone else noticed this?

N2 designation or green cap are standard to denote nitrogen. Without denoting it somehow, a service dept may top off with "regular air" instead of nitro when in for service. That won't hurt anything if you don't care but check pressure more regularly once you are no longer pure nitro.

We should all be using these considering that dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen. I hope that you didn’t pay for it bc it is a waste of money imho.
