I know what capacitors do, in theory, but I do not have a real-world/application knowledge of (motor) run capacitors.
I am replacing a 10uF +/- 5% 250VAC (motor run) capacitor that popped in my bench grinder. Man, did that bang scare me! I found, in my box of capacitors, the following new cap: 12.5uF +/- 5% 250VAC (Motor)
(They are both big, cylindrical types, roughly 30mm diameter x 70mm height...roughly the size of the size D batteries)
Can I use it? Is there a general rule-of-thumb to remember for such?
The new one is the same as:

The old one just has the specs (I listed) & model #: CBB25
(The only CBB25's I was able to find on the web were definitely different...miniscule capacitance & box-type.)
