To reduce friction, which is a resistance between two surfaces in contact. The points of contact between moving parts in a machine create heat (which is actually a desired effect in a flintstone, in which one strikes a flintstone with another rock to create heat as a means of starting a fire) and cause damage in their grinding against one another. Oil reduces the friction, which reduces the heat generated and the damage from the moving part surfaces grinding against one another; this reduction in friction is called lubrication.
