This is new oil, btw. Daughter let a 5qt jug of oil tip over and drain out on my driveway. I didn't notice it till the next morning. I don't have a very strong pressure washer, but that plus dish soap doing do much. It's still a darker color spot than the surrounding concrete.

Do I just need a stronger pressure washer? Other cleaning agent?

Spray it down with CRC Brakleen. Let it set for a while then hose it down.

Thanks I'll try this

That. The sun will take care of the rest.

I usually will use Kitteh litter, and then oil eater, and apply Eximo on top of the stain. And that usually takes good care of it.

I've tried a few things including the brake clean option. The best option I found was to make a dam of kitty litter downslope from the stain. Pour a little bit of plain gasoline on the oil and let it run to the kitty litter. Do this a couple of times a few minutes apart. Push the kitty litter on to the oil stain. Let sit 30 minutes so the gasoline evaporates. Sweep up oil soaked kitty litter. The oil stain is completely gone with no elbow grease required.

I've spilled lots of oil, leaked lots of oil in my garage, on the driveway and never really tried too hard to clean it. It seems like it just fades away over time.

Propane torch just don't let it get to hot or concrete will pop

Got any Microblaze?

Gasoline.

I think that's like eximo..

This product worked very well for me and removed a few oil stains on my driveway. Just shake it up and pour it directly over the stain (don't dilute with water) and let it sit for ~24 hrs and sweep the chalk white powder up and then rinse with water hose

Goof Off is the best I have found.

When I've had oil spill or drip on my driveway, after wiping it up, I'd wet it and then pour some baking soda onto the stain, then use a push broom to scrub it really good. I'd do that a couple of times, then rinse, then pour some dish detergent on it and do the same. Didn't come out completely, but made it much less noticeable. The next time I would go power wash the driveway, it was pretty much gone after.

I use dry laundry detergent. Sprinkle all over the spots and leave until a rain washes it up slowly. As the soap liquifies it will lift up the oil and carry away.
