I got way too sloppy on my first Mazda5 oil change, and there is oil berkeleying everywhere. Any grassroots tips on getting oil stains out of a concrete driveway?

The only thing that's worked for me is immediately spraying the spill with brake cleaner and then rinsing it away. Once it sets...good luck.

I sprinkle some cat litter and then grind it in with my foot.

Tide laundry soap, a broom as a scrub brush, and water.

Brake clean works great, but takes a lot to get it to rinse away. Laundry detergent and a scrub brush works decent too.

I plan on moving soon to get rid of the oil stains in my driveway.

Hey, it works for lugnuts.....

Its not like you could use a Miata, E30, P71, etc... well maybe if you parked one on top to cover the stain....
