If the Japanese had secured Dutch oil before 1941, which they could have done then this resolves the Japanese major fear of running out of oil. So Japan waits longer and soon the Japanese see that Russia is holding so they wait out the war. ...
Securing oil alone won't save Japans economy from severe sanctions. To name a few items:
Japans imports/exports were dependent of foreign flagged ships. In 1940 between 40 & 50 % of the cargo passing through Japans ports was in Japanese controlled cargo ships, about five million tons annually of the eleven million plus tons of cargo traffic. (Source: John Ellis 'Brute Force') Directly indirectly in 1941 the worlds cargo fleet was controlled by the US and Britain. Japan possessed a little more than sixty oil tank type ships, and perhaps forty of those were modern blue water tankers. To take advantage of Dutch petroleum Japan would have to find tankers elsewhere. OTL Japan tried to offset the embarked cargo shipping by a massive freight ship instruction program. This started to produce results in very late 1942 & would have become important in 1944. However Japan was suffering severe economic damage just months after the embargo started.
Japans industry was heavily dependent on imports. Timber, alloys, machine tools, chemicals, scrap steel, ect... ect... The bulk of that in 1941 was controlled by the US & Britain.
Exports were essential for Japans industry and general economy.
Japan lacked operating capitol and cash reserves. The US and London banking centers were the only viable sources of the short and long term loans that kept Japans war economy afloat. When the US Embargo Act froze Japanese financial accounts and transactions in the US it had about the same effect on Japans economy as firebombing several industrial regions. The Japanese government could keep things running for a while through severe rationing, and implementing a centralized command economy, but in the longer run of a many months or a year this sort of thing aggravated the damage. In a sense Japan had to convert to a quasi communist economy to scrape by. Printing money to create capitol had equally bad effects.
In simple terms just the loss of cargo shipping & access to foreign banking were enough to destroy Japans economy for 5-10 years. Oil could have been left off the embargo list & it would have hardly mattered.
