It restores compression, gas causes the oil to wash away from the rotor housings, thus not creating a very good seal, sticking ATF in reoils the housings creating a good seal again.

Please see http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/atftrick.htm before you ruin your engine.

Oil works just as well for unflooding.
