Just no gasoline or gunpowder. Oil to run SPECIALISED macinery, such as a few attempts to reverse engineer Dwarven tech would be okay I suppose. Maybe someone tries to run a Grain crusher thingy using gears and thermal energy either by an oil-fueled furnace or mages. It would fit into the lore, and it would show some advancement in non-war science. Well that's what I'm saying. Especially when it comes to reverse enginering the Dwemer tech. It's a hell of a lot easier to do that than to invent something from scratch, and it's all just sitting there, still almost perfectly functional. And the Dwemer tech is already all powered by either steam, geothermics, or magic, so it's all lore friendly. Isn't that what Calcelmo is doing.

I don't think so, he's just collecting and putting togethr lost parts of Dwemer history from what I understand. Filling in some blanks I guess.
