The eccentric shaft is essentially the crank shaft. 2 strokes and rotary's burn oil for lubrication, but both have huge problems with emissions.

Water and oil don't mix.

I suggest removing the oil to increase MPG, the oil pump robs a lot of engine power. If you use those additives you don't need an oil pump, they show them on TV were they drain out the oil, and the engine still runs great.
This should help MPG a lot.
