The Dual mass flywheel will probably not be damaged by oil as the "flexible material" is only some springs embedded in grease. I did take my old one apart and was amazed by the amount of grease that are inside and can move around messing with the balancing.
Not sure about the friction surface though how that can cope with oil for a long time but I guess that it will be thrown off before damaging
