Generally +/-10% of the rating is considered ok, otherwise replace. Residential HVAC industry commonly uses 370VAC caps on blower motors, these are oil-filled and usually oval in shape. I’ve seen motors start well outside of the 10% range but they usually don’t get to full RPM. Zero Uf=no start.

This similar to what you have?

Checking back in 1 more time...

That’s close but physically too big.

Closest I’ve found so far:

It is a little bigger than the orig, and polyester vs. oil filled “something” for the orig cap, but I think it’ll squeeze in.

I may break apart the old one when I get back home.
