If you do not use the 'Toyota doorpost' air pressure (33 psi) in your tires (e.g., you inflate them closer to max recommended pressure on your tire's sidewall, like I do): When you go to the dealer for an oil change/tire rotation and maybe other service, tell the service folks the pressures that you want your tires to have. Jiffy Lube of Indiana provides Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) services to Fort Wayne, IN, Carmel, IN, Indianapolis, IN, and other surrounding areas. Choose a service from the following list: View Services Schedule Service Request Quote Description of Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Today I was low on tire pressure so I drove into a jiffy lube and asked them if they could fill it for me and they did at no cost. I didn't even have to get out of my car. The only thing is be sure to go when there aren't any other cars around, because they'll ask you to back out of the garage instead of pulling all the way through. When you spot uneven tire wear, you should bring your vehicle to Jiffy Lube® before traction, handling and your safety are adversely impacted. YOUR TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) LIGHT IS ON. Swing by your local Jiffy Lube® and let a trained technician take a look. Your TPMS could be malfunctioning (hey, it happens). QLO Management Inc. L Suds Express Inc.

No more rotten wheels
Wheel rot results when water is trapped inside a tire. A nitrogen-filled tire has less oxygen, which means it is less likely to rot because of the absence of oxidation, rust, and water. With nitrogen in your tires, you'll have less corrosion and better bead sealing.
Less tire-pressure fluctuation
When you fill your tires with air, you're adding water to them as well. The pressurization of air turns humidity into water. As a result, a significant amount of moisture is trapped in tanks where this air is stored. When you drive, the heat created converts this water to a gas, which expands and increases your tire pressure. With nitrogen, there's no humidity and fewer changes in tire pressure.
Longer-lasting tire-pressure
Under normal conditions tires filled with air lose pressure over time, and this loss speeds up when temperatures change. But because nitrogen molecules are bigger, they have a harder time passing through the rubber of the tire. As a result, tires filled with nitrogen maintain their pressure longer than those filled with air.
Longer-lasting tires
A tire's life greatly depends on its inflation. Overinflation wears tires in its center, while underinflation wears down its shoulders. But, tires filled with nitrogen maintain a more consistent inflation level, reducing the potential for wear and extending the life of the tire.
Improved safety and reliability
Over 90 percent of blowouts are the result of under-inflated tires. Because nitrogen maintains more consistent pressure, tires filled with nitrogen are less likely to fail.
Greater fuel efficiency
When a vehicle's tires aren't inflated enough, its gas mileage is reduced. Tires filled with nitrogen have less rolling resistance, as nitrogen loses pressure at a slower rate than air, resulting in improved fuel efficiency.

Tires may be one of the most important safety features of your vehicle and there are two maintenance items most owners can do for themselves. Checking tire tread depth and tire pressure requires just a couple of minutes and the only tools required are a penny and a tire gauge. We have made an easy to follow video for you to view, Check Tire Tread Depth & Pressure, or refer to the steps below.
Checking Tread Depth
Hold the penny and push it between the treads with Lincoln's head down. If any part of Lincoln's head shows, it may be time for you to check with a tire professional. We recommend that you check each tire at several different places on the tread in case of uneven wear.
Checking Tire Pressure
Jiffy Lube Tire Pressure Cost
Most tire failures are caused by under-inflation so checking tire pressure monthly is a best practice. The following tips should make checking tire pressure a routine task that you can perform on your own.
- Recommended tire pressure is typically found on the door panel, glove box or in the owner's manual for your vehicle.
- Remember to check pressure when the car has been sitting overnight or has been driven for less than a mile.
- Remove the cap from tire stem and press tire gauge onto the stem so that it registers the current tire pressure.
- If the tire is not at the recommended pressure, adjust the pressure to proper inflation by adding or releasing air and checking the pressure again with your gauge.
- Check each tire and make sure you replace each value cap.
