                at the garage i work at, i just take a rag, put it over the oil, and like... spin my foot on top of it, scuff it up. then mop over it with a big mop. it works for me.
                otherwise... try brake cleaner?

                    me and my dad used simple green and a pressure washer. just sprayed the simple green on the spots where it was bad...let it sit a couple minutes...then followed over the entire driveway (short driveway) with a pressure washer...worked perfectly.

                      degreaser, and a pushbroom to "scrub" it out, then wasah or pressure wash away, if it doesnt clear up right away it will with a few rain cycles.

                        If it is concrete, you can use some muriatic acid. However, but be careful to very thoroughly rinse away all of the acid, or you'll end up with a cool hole where the stain used to be.

                          I have heard a six pack of Coca Cola will do the trick.

                          Pop a few cans and let the harsh acid do its job.

                          Get back to me if this works lol.

                            On a realted note:

                            What do you use to get oil off of a concrete garage floor? In prep for doing something like epoxy'ing it
