You can't check capacitors that way. The only thing you can conclude from an ohmmeter test is that the leads are still internally attached to the cap's film/foil and the cap isn't *completely* inert. Here's what the ohmmeter test won't provide:
Capacitance value
Equivalent Series Resistance
Leakage
Dielectric Absorption
