With the aim of testing the protective properties of oil K-17, motors after preservation were stored from 1964, in the open, in wooden cases of the panel type. The meteorological data for one year are presented; the other years were similar. Inspections of the motors during storage confirmed the reliability of the preservation. In an inspection of one motor of type 3D6 in 1983, no corrosion was observed on the outer surfaces in the presence of oil K-17. Some assemblies were inspected by opening the inspection holes. The K-17 oil remained on the gear teeth, gas distribution cams, and other surfaces, and had accumulated in the grooves of the teeth. There was no corrosion damage to the working and nonworking surfaces of the reversing clutch, gear, or gas-distribution unit, except for one tooth of the reversing clutch gear and small spots of corrosion on the surfaces of three gas-distribution cams. Also, there was no appreciable change in the physicochemical properties of the K-17 oil.
