Yes. I just did mine using the Arctic Freeze Ultra Synthetic. You want to avoid brands that contain sealer. It's available at Autozone, Walmart, Amazon etc. The low pressure connection is underneath the driver side cabin filter, so has to be removed. Good time to replace those if needed. Follow the directions on the bottle and you will be fine to just add a little, but be mindful that if it's really low you actually need to get the high and low pressure readings using a gauge set to fill it properly...my friend got one from Harbor Freight for ab $50.
