Arrow egine failiure

i heard a pilot reporting loss of an engine due to complete loss of oil pressure . the pilot was quite relaxed ...perhaps another failiure being a rare probability ?

what is oil pressure used for in an engine ...is it to oil the bearings ? how often do these engines fail ..is it a rare occurence ? unfortunatley i don't have details of the aircraft type or engine details.
