Best way to remove oil from concrete?

Had an oil leak in my truck and the oil is on the concrete in my garage. What's the best way to remove this? Can't be just water, right?

Litter or saw dust

Soak the spot in highly concentrated soapy water then pressure wash it.

Kitty litter and a good degreaser have worked for me.

Oil = Stain
The oil has irreparably stained the concrete flatwork. Your options are to put more oil over the rest of the driveway to make the stain universally uniform or tear out the concrete and start over.
You're welcomed in advance.

Clean it, burn it out, then clean it up. First-clean the surface oil with a liquid degreaser, second-burn dry and evaporate the oil, third-very mild acid water mix application, fourth-very mild acid water mix application, fifth-very mild acid water mix application.

Coca-cola probably will work,it's also a really good way to remove road film from a windshield.
put some sawdust down first,stomp it,rub it,soak all that you can up, then put the coke on it.
