Default Teak Oil or Linseed Oil???

Just got back from a lovely week end on the boat scraping off years of Sandolin
from the rubbing strakes and wheelhouse surround, must be about 100' Have received lots of very conflicting 'advice' from other experts around the boat yard. I dont want to paint or varnish the wood
but apply some form of protective oil. Have been told that Teak Oil with 50% Turpsd for the first Coat is the answer and then gradually reduce the Turps to about 10%/90%
mix with a final coat of pure Teak Oil. Had similar advice but Linseed Oil was suggested.
What does the Team think ????

As ever many thanks for all answers


David
