Can you mix oxygen and nitrogen in your tire?

If you have a nitrogen filled tire that is low you can put in regular compressed air to fill it up, but you will lose some of the benefit of the nitrogen. You should replace the green cap with a black one if you have filled the tire with regular air. 90% of cars on the road are just using regular compressed air, and not having a lot of problems. So I wouldn't worry too much about it.
