I think its being over complicated. Its a little 1/8" pipe oil pressure line.
Its pipe thread and you need some sealant, never dry. Even if its steel to brass, if you want it to leak, put it together dry.
When I was young at a job the owners son told me its not required with steel to brass on a hydraulic pipe fitting. So I argued with him and he kinda wanted to fire me. But it leaked, I knew better. My dad was a heavy equipment mechanic with a shop truck and I watched him a lot.
The OP can use pretty much whatever thread sealant he wants. Even good ole Pematex #2 will work fine.
I would not use teflon tape anywhere in a vehicle. Unless you want a little piece of that tape getting stuck in your check-ball.
Any of the Permatex thread sealant will work fine, its low pressure anyway. Laco Slic- Tight is good stuff. Rectorseal will work but its a little thin.
I like Gasolia thread sealant, its nice and thick.
About the only time I use the tape is when I have a issue at work where the threads are less than ideal and I need something to take up space.
