Any AC gurus here?

After running for 15 years the home AC condenser fan started whining pretty bad. I changed out the fan motor and while at it the capacitor. 

 

Unit starts fine and runs for about a 20 minute cycle then fan kicks off but compressor keeps running for a couple minutes and the noise it's making sounds awful.

 

I double checked microfarads on new capacitor and resistance on fan through ohming wires and they check out good. Both parts OEM.

 

The unit does move plenty of cool air in the house but the condenser fan shutting off with the compressor continuing to run for even a short time concerns me. I thought condenser fan and compressor shut off together at end of cooling cycle?

 

Any helpful ideas or tutorial is very appreciated.
