    I keep a small bag of Oil Dri on hand. You can buy it at any automotive store or in that section at Wal Mart.  It works like a charm!  Sprinkle it over the oil stain, then using a small brick or rough stone, rub it into the oil stain well, let it set overnight, and the oil stain will be gone. If it is an old stain, you may have to repeat the procedure.

    I've heard cat liter also works but I've never tried it.

    I have used the Oven Cleaner method and it did remove the stain on my driveway.

    Cat littler works to soak up any standing oil, but it does not remove the stain.  If you happen to have a bag of Quickrete around, you can use a handful of the concrete dust on the stain to cover it.  Works like a charm.   

    Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners, and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent!

    Thank you so much. We will be trying the oil dry as we  did go and get some today. If that doesn't do it we will also use the cement dust, Thanks Again.
