We perform lubricants testing by military specification MIL-PRF-8188, which covers a corrosion-preventive oil. This military specification covers the requirements for one type of corrosion-preventive oil intended for preservation of specific models of aircraft turbine engines, helicopter transmissions, accessory and auxiliary power units, and other types of equipment which require a synthetic base oil. The corrosion-preventive oil should be capable of limited use, not to exceed 25 hours, as an aircraft engine lubricant. This oil is identified by NATO Code No. C-638.
