Take majority of the stain out?

Someone advised me to use a good quality washing detergent, and the same day someone thru out the idea of using Dawn dishwashing detergent because it has a grease dispersent. I decided to combine the two. First I wet the area down real well and then sprinkled Tide with Bleach on the affected area. I used a bucket of water with a good amount of Dawn added and scrubbed the areas with a plastic bristle brush. It came out real well.

Probably not very environmentally friendly method, but laquer thinner, MEK, or Acetone will melt it, then just hose it off.

I just grind in some powdered laundry soap and leave alone. Eventually washes away and the stain is pretty much gone if it wasn't allowed to soak in too long.

Cat litter will absorb most of the oil then use the Purple Power mentioned earlier. Just spray it on, wait a few minutes then hose it off. That shite will degrease anything! It will degrease the hell out of your skin as well. To the point of dry and cracking skin. Wear rubber gloves.

Super Clean degreaser is another industrial grade degreaser that works very well on oil stains.
