I have a Copeland CR22KF-PFV-230 compressor in my A/C unit and the capacitor installed is a 40 +10uF . When I look at spec sheet for the compressor at https://www.copeland.com/documents/...ross-reference-manual-guide-en-us-1569036.pdf , on the last page in the Run Cap column it says the capacitor should be 30/370. Should I replace the capacitor with a 30 +10uF capacitor? I would appreciate if someone with some HVAC knowledge could look at the linked spec sheet and confirm that I should be reducing the capacitors size from 40 to 30. Thanks

Any idea as to why the AC service technicians over the past few years would have been putting in 40 mfd? Is it because these are generally more readily available in their vans and 30 MFD is somewhat unusual?
I'll replace it with a 30 +10 mfd as the fan motor calls for 10 mfd
Thank you both for your advice.
