    Break cleaner from an auto parts store. I changed my oil a few days ago and got a few bits on the concrete and sprayed break cleaner on it and it took it away. The best part is its only like a buck.

    Try your basic granular oil dry. Similar to kitty litter withoiut the scent. put a small amt on the stain. Then, take your foot and grind it into the concrete until it is powder. Sweep away the powder and see what you have. It works well. I do it on old stains all the time.

    If concrete try Pour and Restore. If pavement, call a paving company, there is no good way to get it out.

    You can remove the oil, but the stain will remain. It acts like a dye. The only way to remove it is to remove some concrete. That's not something you want to do because it now becomes exposed to the elements and weakened.
