What they do advice against is flushing thin oil down the valve tuning slides. They say this tends to dissolve whatever slide lubrication you have, which will leave a sticky mess on the valve cylinders. I would think that carefully keeping the tuba in the right position would make it possible to let oil pass the valves without getting too much into the valve tubing. I've never experienced the need for lubrication on the cylinders, though.
