Oil weight is tricky and is an adjustment of last resort. First, there no real standard between manufacturers for fork oil weight (look it up - it’s all over the place). Even staying with the same manufacturer you may find that you are between weights - and now you have a concoction that you may not be able to replicate.
It’s far easier to add or remove a 1/4 ounce at a time. Remove the fork cap (one at a time) and with a syringe with some tubing you can add or remove an exact amount. Add oil to slow the rebound, and remove to make it faster.
It’s real easy to add/remove oil. It’s a pain in the ass to drain the oil and replace it, only to learn that you don’t like the result.
