Rub some corn meal on the spot after blotting it.Brush it off after a few mts. and then apply prewash stain remover, rinse. Wash in hot water.
Another surprising tip for oil stains, is good old shampoo! Just rub the shampoo on the spot with a soft brush. Let sit for a few minutes and then wash in hot or warm water.
For an old butter or oil stain, regenerate the stain first with WD-40, then rub in some undiluted dish detergent. Wash as usual.

You didn't say what kind of oil or what kind of fabric. That could make a difference. The last time I got motor oil on clothing, I had to have it drycleaned. Nothing I had in the house would budge those stains, but the cleaner got them all. For cooking oil, straight dish detergent or laundry detergent works some times. When that doesn't work, I get pretty good results with a stain remover such as Shout. If the fabric is cotton, you can just keep trying until something works. If it is silk and special, you may want to go straight to the drycleaner. Good luck.

You need a strong degreaser like Dawn or Tide. Pour directly on stain and let it sit for a wahil an wash in hot water. Murphy's Oil Soap works very well also.

If you are talking about removing animal fat from a fabric, its a secret of the dry cleaning industry. But I will let you in on their little secret, sprinkle salt on the stain rub it well with your fingers, let sit for several minutes and clean the fabric per instructions. I think there is a time limit on how soon you should apply salt to a fat stain, you might be over the limit.

per Martha Stewart -
Stain Stick: An enzyme-based cleaner available at grocery and discount stores. Most effective on food, grease, oil, protein, and dirt-based stains and can be used on any fabric and color. It can remain on fabric for up to one week. I found the Carbona® products to be the best at removing specific stains, especially rust.

Try Gojo or any good waterless hand cleaner. Rub it into the stain well and then rinse with tepid water. May have to do this several times.

If you can you could try bleaching it for a couple of hours and then washing it... or try something called Krud Kutter... that took grease stains out of my white tee without letting it sit so that could work...

Dish soap helps, Dawn always got out those tough stains.

When my son worked at mcdonalds I always used Cascade (dissolved) to cut the greasy. It's made to elimate protein (grease is a protein)and it always completely cleaned all of his greasy clothing.
