What is the duty cycle of this solenoid? In other words, how long can it be open before it needs to close and cool down?

The listed (on box) duty cycle is 8 hours open.

Will this valve flow both directions? And will it flow engine oil, synthetic?

It will flow oil but very very slow and even worse in cold weather.

Can this get wet? Like if it were installed outside exposed to rain.

The valves all have a rating of IP65, which means they can withstand spray from water. However, if permanently installed outdoors, it is recommended that you enclose the motorized ball valve in some protective housing.
