Not "crankshaft bearing" levels of pressure, but under pressure none-the-less.

Nope...Oil is Just pumped up to the the bearing journals just like the crank journals really (except for the oil that gets spewed across the garage to keep this on topic), it squirts out, gets flung around a bit and then drains back to the sump. Pop off your oil fill cap while the car is running and take a look....
