A turbine oil used in a turbine of a jet engine, containing: a base oil (A) containing a polyol ester (A1); an antioxidant (B) containing an amine-based antioxidant (B1); a polymethacrylate (C) having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 600,000; and an alkyl aromatic compound (D), having a content of the component (D) of 1,000 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of a total resin content of the component (C), and satisfying the following requirements (1) and (2): requirement (1): a viscosity index of 140 or more; and requirement (2): a coking amount attached to a panel of 80 mg or less after a panel coking test under the prescribed condition. The turbine oil has a high viscosity index to such an extent that an oil film can be retained in the use under a high temperature environment as in a turbine of a jet engine mounted on an aircraft, and is excellent in low temperature viscosity characteristics while retaining excellent heat resistance.
