I see in another question that the compressor in a fridge has oil in it, and that it has the ability to get dirty over time. Based on the knocking sounds of my fridge, I wonder if it's due for an oil change.

Is it possible for the average person to change the oil in a fridge?

The oil is part of the coolant. Changing the coolant isn't a common task for home owners because of the specialized equipment required.
