Yes of course, and higher voltage ones are often better specification as well (lower ESR).

OK, thanks.
I saw there are standard caps and caps with Low ESR in online store.

Are those Low ESR better?

I would prefer a good quality capacitor rather than a poor quality (supposed) low ESR one - a good quality one will never fail, a cheap one (low ESR or not) will fail just like the originals.
