There are many items in The Nightwatch missions where the frob
distance is set lower than normal so you have to get really close to
get them.   Has he tried leaning forward?   That's mapped to "w" in my
key bindings.

Yes, he must have the oil to finish the mission.   There is a
walkthrough here, btw:

Good on him! I'ld love to have the time to be able to do this, even if it  
meant aging by 30 years. Work is for slaves as the Romans said.
