Would you change this cap ?

Hi folks- If an electrolytic measures slightly over it's rated value
with a trusted meter, would you consider this cap bad thus replace it
? For example, if a 100uf measures 107uf, does that mean the cap is
drying out and must be replaced ? Thanks
Not at all. Most electrolytics have a tolerance of at least 20%.
This means that 107uf is well within spec for a 100uf cap.
In any case, the electrolyte drying out would have the opposite
effect from what you're describing: Capacitance would, in that event,
decrease.
