Question about Capacitor on 820-00840 A

I have a 820-00840 A that suffered water damage. Was actually running, however after ultrasonic cleaning some caps literally lost the ends (Corrosion was making the contact).

So, I have C8157 on a 820-00840 A. It calls for a 3.5PF 0201 25V.

All I have in any of my sample books are 3.3PF 50V or 3.9PF 50V, skips right over 3.5PF.

Is it ok to use either ? Is there a rule of thumb when you are so close to go higher or lower ? Hate to wait 4-5 days for something so cheap. I also checked and none of my donor boards seem to have a 3.5PF 0201 either.

Thanks in advance !

Forget about it, not critical.
If you really want to replace it, any 3.3-3.9pF is OK.
50V type may be bigger size and need to scratch the lacquer to solder it.
