But why is it “better to use thinner oil”? 

Of course this is just my opinion.  I don't know exactly how the bearing was filled, probably was not full with oil but what I know with new VG 46 oil my tt get the right speed later compared with the old one and also compared with my untouched RX-5000. For sure we cannot obtain new oil with VG 37, as the standards are 5, 10, 15, 22, 32, 46, 68, etc... Also we can consider that the viscosity of original oil was 32 mm2/s and since 40 year it could changed a bit thanks to wearing, oxidation, contamination, etc. and reached the current 37 mm2/s. I do risk nothing to try also the ISO VG 32 oil to see what is the difference. I think VG 32 is also a thick oil, good enough for damping. Of course the verdict would be after auditions.
