Will the car shake if engine oil is low?

Low engine oil can cause the engine to run roughly and vibrate excessively. When the oil level is low, it can't properly lubricate the moving parts of the engine, such as the pistons, crankshaft, and connecting rods. This can cause metal-on-metal contact, which can produce knocking, banging, and grinding noises. The vibrations can be felt throughout the car, including the steering wheel, seat, and floorboard.
