Can you add O2 to Nitrogen shocks???

[Alberta Boy]

I have some Nitrogen shocks that are filled to about 350 psi and I have let some nitrogen out and now I may need to add a little bit of pressure. The question is, can I add air to the shocks to top it up a bit or should I stick with Nitrogen??? If so, where can I get high PSI nitrogen in the Edmonton area?

Thanks

Obvious choice would be a motorsports shop that services shocks. Next place would be a ag or heavy equipment dealership. We have nitrogen at our ag repair shop for charging accumulators on the newer powershift transmissions on tractors.

What is the max psi of those machines? I need at least 250 psi for these shocks

We've just got a big cylinder with a regulator on it. Our tank is getting low and we're still getting 700 PSI out of it if needed, so you should be fine.
