PTFE is listed... and so is 'Oils: Turbine'... what is NOT provided are compatibility VS temperature above or below Room Temperature*. *Conditions are based on ambient or room temperature unless otherwise noted, about 64°F (18°C) to 73°F (23°C).
May be able to get greater definition from this company. PTFE is pretty inert and capable of wide temperature extremes. CAUTION1, at even modestly elevated temperatures most plastics become increasingly soft/ductile and may distort under load. Likewise... most plastics become increasingly stiff/brittle below freezing. Exception to most of these 'rules' are incredibly expensive/exotic plastics.
NO ENDORSEMENT INTENDED... solely for ref only.

Also, I just thought about this... a MUCH more definitive document, especially RE turbine oils, is...

My buddies thought it would be a great material as an anti-friction pad for a large load. Got smeared like cream cheese. Ended up with aluminum bronze instead.

Polymer Engineering (or) Plastics Engineering - general discussion forums are 'better places' for this question.
