Upsizing Capacitors


Gents, what kind of best practices do you have on upsizing capacitors? Capacitance, voltage - sometimes where necessary due to availability, but also which ones do you normally try to upsize if you had the choice?

Measure the capacitors with a good lcr meter to see if they have degraded due to age 

Replace if they are more than 10% low. Otherwise leave them be.
