1. I have to connect two crystal , one for RTC & other for main clock, i have selected below crystals:

2. Datasheet of both caps says 12.5pf load capacitance.
3. Does that mean I have to selected both CL1 & CL2 as 12.5pF each?
Edit: If yes , 12.5pf caps are not available on digikey , can I use 10pF instead with same cyrstal
4. Datasheet of MCU for 16Mhz says:
For CL1 and CL2, it is recommended to use high-quality external ceramic capacitors in the 5 pF to 25 pF range (typ.), designed for high-frequency applications, and selected to match the requirements of the crystal or resonator (see Figure 30). CL1 and CL2 are usually the same size. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which is the series combination of CL1 and CL2. PCB and MCU pin capacitance must be included (10 pF can be used as a rough estimate of the combined pin and board capacitance) when sizing CL1 and CL2.
5. Datasheet of MCu for 32.768Khz says:
For CL1 and CL2 it is recommended to use high-quality external ceramic capacitors in the 5 pF to 15 pF range selected to match the requirements of the crystal or resonator (see Figure 31). CL1 and CL2, are usually the same size. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which is the series combination of CL1 and CL2.
Load capacitance CL has the following formula: CL = CL1 x CL2 / (CL1 + CL2) + Cstray where Cstray is the pin capacitance and board or trace PCB-related capacitance. Typically, it is between 2 pF and 7 pF.
