The Smart Aleck answer is, "You put it there."
When you pour oil in via the fill hole, you're pouring it directly into the crankcase of the engine. I believe most simple, single cylinder, 4-cycle lawn mower engines are "splash systems". In which case, it's up to mechanical agitation to splash the oil around while the engine is running, ensuring that the valve components and cylinder walls are lubricated.
