K guys , brother in law has been staying with us. He is on heart transplant list , so I am in for long haul. His car drips oil . My driveway is now stained. I put his car in the shop and agreed to pay for the fix. Ok, question is there anything I can use to get rid of stain?

Try Easy Off aerosol oven cleaner. Spray it on heavy, let it foam up and soak for a while. Not a sure thing, but works pretty good. Purple power degreaser will lighten it up some too. If nothing works, just put straight dawn dish soap and leave it for a couple days, then scrub it off. Repeating any of that will probably eventually make it less and less noticeable.

* go jo hand cleaner with a small wire brush can be somewhat effective too.

Pour about 2 cups of laquer thinner on it. Get U some oil dry. Cover the puddle of thinner with the oil dry. Put on some crappy shoes an crush the oil dry into the concrete. Use a "twisting motion" (hold your heels up and twist). Do this until you see white concrete underneath. Rinse and let dry.

Apply kitty litter to oil spot. Get a 2x4 and rub the hell out of it. Pulverize the kitty litter to dust. Bam, oil stain is gone.
