It won't chip or peel, but is this enough for teak in sun and

Teak being used for what? If you have a teak deck, you want it to
weather (or at least I do) so that it develops those nice, rough
anti-slip ridges. No oil, no anything.

OTOH, if it is just a pretty-pretty, and you like the look of oiled
wood, go for it. If you like shiny, use varnish. Either will have to
be reapplied at intervals depending on weather/exposure conditions.

You forgot, "being used for impressing your lubber friends". Unlike you
and me, they don't properly appreciate the weathered surface. Ya gotta oil
it for them.
