Fan Capacitor question

I need to find a replacement fan capacitor and it is a CBB61 capacitor rated 2 uF The closest CBB61 I can find has all the same specs but is rated 2.5 uF
Does anyone know if this would be a problem?

No problem. They deteriorate quickly and capacity is temp dependent. Get highest rated voltage. Good luck finding an USA made one. Mexico isn't bad. Only Co (old Mallory line) in Fl makes them here anymore and expensive. Most have start and run in same package, separate is better as heat is lower.
