Superfluid lifeform

Could a life form that uses superfluids as part of its biology exist?

I've read in places that the issue for life outside of Earth and especially the theorised silicon lifeforms is that the existence of solvents is complicated and depends on the molecule chosen and local pressure and temperature.

This post explains some of the physics of large scale superfluids (which I still have trouble understanding) but would it be possible for a planet that has an atmosphere around 74 bars and 31°C to have CO2 superfluids just"¦ going around? And let's assume the superfluid is able to have a role in the biology of the local lifeforms. Would it be more likely to have it replace water or oxygen? I would assume water, because of it being a liquid and flowing down to oceans and all, but then again if it acts like a gas then it would be breathed and that would make the lifeforms quite"¦Â unusual to us, am I correct?

Thank you.
