I would start off with some de-greaser, and trying to soak up as much of the crap as possible, with something like cat-litter. Apply de-greaser, allow to soak in a bit, apply absorbent material, allow to absorb, sweep away.

Once that seems to not be doing anything much, you're pretty much down to elbow grease +degreaser, just be wary of spreading it around any more than it already is.

Pressure washer is a good idea. See if you can borrow one if you don't have one.

Caustic soda!

Rarely ever get ALL oil out of concrete; but cheap, 'own brand' BIOLOGICAL soap powder, like wot use to was your socks.

Contains 'enzymes', that actually 'eat' oil.

Sprinkle a little over oil spills when they happen; to soak it up before it soaks in the concrete; & sweep up with old dust-pan & brush, shovel & broom, woteva

then sprnkle a little over the stain & let nature do the rest.

One of the best de-greasers known to woman... and they should know... they manage it get it out your laundry!

turn the flags over, and forget it ever happened.

Whenever I spill oil on concrete I just scrub some petrol into it, lifts all the crap out as it dissolves the oil.

Not really worth trying anything else imo as petrol works so well.

Use a stiff yardbrush with strong washing-up liquid.
Rinse.

You can get proper cleaning stuff, that is pretty cheap and works alright.

Problem with just using it makes the other bits look real dirty.

[Babba]

lay an old newspaper onto the stain, spray/soak newspaper in WD40, leave for 10-20mins, remove newspaper.

Jeyes fluid or cola, the cheaper the better.

If you throw a load of white spirit over it that works very well especially if you run a brush over it afterwards to get rid of the edges of the stain.

[cb1rocket]

sand and brush it in with hot soapy water

Definitely a pressure washer - quickest and easiest way. Though it'll leave it looking too 'clean' so you may need to do the rest too!

Repeated use will see it wearing the surface down a bit, but fine if it's not all the time.
