My 18 y/o son has been restoring a 67 Firebird in the garage. I'm not talking about a little oil such as an oil leak, but alot, like the whole quart.
Thanks, Budding Mechanic's Mom

This isnt a carpeted garage, is it?
Kitty litter is typically used to soak up oil. As for dark stains left behind, bleach or some other fluid with subtle abrasive nature would gradually fade the stain.

To get the oil off of the garage floor you can use kitty litter. It works wonder.

Wet/dry vac should be able to safely suck it up... there are probably products you can get that absorb the oil then you take care of that (like carpet cleaner powder you put down to suck up a recently spilled cup of liquid). I would go to somewhere like Auto Zone and ask if they have anything or any suggestions.

well I know that when it is first spilled you can you kitty litter but I take it that its been there for awhile now. The best suggestion that I have for you is to use Goo Goo Gone it works really well for that sort of stuff and you can find it at hardware stores and possibly your local walmart

Go to your friendly automotive store and get some degreaser. It will take several applications, so be patient. it will finally be back to the original color again. OR you could paint the floor battleship gray. I did that once also at the first house.

Rice hull ash. Works better than kitty litter.

Kitty litter works GREAT!!!!!!! Make sure you get the little rocks... The paper kind will blow up real big if water hits it....Sorry about your GARAGE!
