You can pass a vector of ticks to the axis() function that expand the actual
range,

par(mar=c(5.1,4.1,4.1,5.1))
plot(x$Time, x$y1, type='l', bty = 'c', col = 'red')
par(new = TRUE)
plot(x$Time, x$y2, type = 'l', axes = FALSE, xlab = '', ylab = '', col=
'green')
##axis(4, col='green')
axis(4, at=seq(0,12,2), col='green')
mtext(side=4, text="label green", line=2)
par(new = TRUE)
plot(x$Time, x$y3, type = 'l', axes = FALSE, xlab = '', ylab = '', col =
'blue')
##axis(4, col='blue', line = -4)
axis(4, at=seq(0,0.12,0.02), col='blue', line = -4)
mtext(side=4, text="label green", line=-2)

ti <- axTicks(4)
ti.delta <- diff(ti)[1]
ti.expan <- seq(ti[1]-ti.delta, ti[length(ti)]+ti.delta, ti.delta)
ti.expan

axis(4, at=ti.expan, col='blue', line=-8)
