damn okay.. now I heard you can just put some compressor oil and sometimes it fixes it.?? I mean my ac blows ice cold and only time it makes a noise is when im at a stop and i give it gas..If im already driving and i turn on the ac, it doesnt make any noise.

What kind of noise is it making,a/c compressor normally makes noise wen u turn the a/c on.if its making noise like once. Every 3 second then ure probably low on freon.but if its a grinding type noise then u will need a compressor

I thought I had that issue but a closer look turned out to be a heat shield that was rattling like a tin can when the AC was on and only when the AC was on...

there is nowhere to pour compressor oil. it must be added in with r134. unless you have a leak of some sort, adding something will not fix the issue. r134 and compressor oil are not consumable items like gasoline.
