Probably not a good idea and not something we could know.

If it needs refrigerant, it probably has a leak...
 
You would need to read the shop manual for your vehicle to see what the recharge procedure is for it. The shop manual is available at most auto parts stores, or from your local Dodge dealer. But it may be cheaper to have a shop do the recharge for you, rather than buying the shop manual -- you could check and compare the prices.
