As Steve indicated, the amount of oil determines the remaining air capacity of the fork. As the air in the remaining "chamber" acts as a spring, the oil level can alter the rate of the air spring... at the very least, getting the oil levels equal is a good thing.
You can also adjust the oil level (within limits) to alter the air spring rate... not the same as changing a coil spring but more of a "fine tune" capability.
