Car engines are pressure-lubricated, which means that there is a pump forcing oil between the metal surfaces of the bearing and the axle, preventing the surfaces from actually touching each other. If oil pressure is too low, metal will settle onto metal and begin to grind on each other. When that happens an expensive failure is just around the corner.
