on cars its so oil is still picked up when cornering hard.
on bikes its for stunters so oil in back of sump can get to oil pump when doing long wheelies or front when doing stoppies

The pupose is to keep the pick-up and the oil together under all riding or run standing conditions. A very good idea.

It's so you suck oil instead of air during fast heavy g corners.
