Let me guess; it's only happening when the engine is warm and it's idling. If that's right, the engine bearings are getting a little older and the gap between the bearing and the crankshaft is increasing. It's normal and as long as the oil pressure comes back up when the engine is running at normal operating speed, everything is still ok. If you want to have the oil pressure back in the normal operation range, try this. Next time you change the oil, go to a slightly thicker grade oil. If you've been using 5W15, change to a 10W30. Those numbers identify the "viscosity" of the oil at specific temperatures. The higher numbers indicate a thicker viscosity. If your bearings are worn, a thicker oil will not leak out as fast and will keep the oil pressure up. It will also help the bearings last longer now that they're a little worn.

1998 park avenue ultra has loud knocking coming from super charger what could it be?
It might be the supercharger going bad. The supercharger has a little coupler that is located in between the supercharger nose and the main body. This coupler is located inside and once it starts to wear out it will start making a clunk sound. You can replace the coupler, replace the nose, or rebuild the whole supercharger.

How would you drain the oil from a supercharger in a 1994 Buick park avenue ultra?
You don't. It uses the same oil for lube as the engine. When you change the engine oil, you are changing the supercharger oil. * On the 92 PA ultra, The supercharger is sealed. The oil plug is next to the drive pulley, on the side closest to the firewall. Suck the old oil out with a turkey baster or similar, and refill with a high quality synthetic, or with GM specific Supercharger oil.

Can you remove the supercharger from a 94 Buick park avenue ultra and how does it effect the car?
you CAN remove it and replace it with a regular intake, however the car will run like sh!t. The supercharged engine has a lower compression ratio and withour boost it will not run well. If you want to get rid of the supercharger (why would you) you have to get rid of the entire engine....or to make things much simplier the whole car.

Can you disconnect the supercharger in your 1998 park avenue?
The Supercharger can be disconnected. My 1998 Ultra had a pulley lockup which caused the belt to come off. I pulled the intact supercharger belt out of the way of moving parts till I had a chance to work on it. A few months later I replaced the pulley and belt, which required raising the engine, pulling bolts out of the motor mount, and weaving the belt into place. I'm not sure it was worth the effort. The car runs very good without boost, for most driving. I continued to use premium fuel, of course. One could just cut the belt off and drive without the supercharger, if desired. So there you have it. P.S. go to Discussion for more tips.
