Muratic acid will eat the grease off of your driveway without any scrubbing, and can be found at Lowe's, or Home Depot.

It might be a bit expensive but I always use solvent and cat litter. Dump solvent on the oil stain let it soak in for a few minutes, scrub it in with a stiff push broom, dump cat litter on it, scrub that back and forth to soak up the solvent and oil, then pick it up with a shovel and throw it in a bucket. You can reuse it. Then get yourself a big scraper and scrape the concrete. Then wash the rest away with water. Always works for me. Unless of course the stain is real deep and has been there for awhile. In that case just paint the concrete with concrete paint. good luck

I just do the old way Gas desolves greese or thins it out to nothing and the same with oil so soak the oil in gas then use rags and scrub the spot for a bit the area will lighten but still look wet let air dry and if you did a good job scrubbing the spot will be gone

If it's still moist, use some kitty litter to soak up the wet. Then, wet it down, dump a little quikcrete on it, sweep it around with an outside broom and let it dry. If it's a pretty dark stain, you may have to do that twice. I live in a trailer park that frowns on oil stains in the driveways and we have one new car and one beater. Of course the beater leaks. We do it every year.

Pour some kitty litter on it, and sweep it up the next day. It pulls the oil out of the concrete, and is absorbed into the litter.

Absorbent granules sold in auto parts stores. Cover oil stains, grind in with your shoe, sweep up. Severe stains may take more than one treatment. Product is similar to kitty litter. Instructions are on the package.

If it is fresh oil, sprinkle portland cement powder on the oil to absorb it then remove the oil soaked powder. If it is an old stain, use "Gunk". You can buy it at an automotive store.
