Paint over the stain with a half and half mixture of PVA glue and water. Once dry, paint over it.
It might be easier to hang a little picture over it, or stick some starfish on top.

First take some baby powder or talcum powder and rub it into the area to soak up what can be removed from the surface. Dawn dish washing liquid works wonders, and if you use a toothbrush and scrub gently (you may have to repeat this several times), you should get results. If it is set in, you might have to do a little paint touch up, but if you do that, make sure to remove the paint that is stained before painting, so it doesn't bleed through the new paint. I hope you find something that works for you. Take care!

I don't know if it can be removed. When we moved (beginning of this year) we had oil based stains on our walls in a few places. We purchased a product called Kilz. It is a 'paint' that will cover those types of stains. It is found in the paint section of the hardware store. We then painted over the entire wall (we were going to anyway). and the oil did NOT leak/weep/seep through.

There is nothing you can do to remove the oil from the walls. But you can paint over it. One of you is almost correct You need to buy a Primmer paint the best is called "Kilz" you can buy it in a spray can or a quart can that has to be brushed on. After that you can repaint the wall with the color of paint the the room is painted. You need to use a Primmer first.
Aluminum Paint is use to cover old stains from wall paper, and is also used to paint on walls to cover from Smoke damage from fires.

the only way i'm conscious of to eliminate the evidence of previous oil paint is to place an oil-based primer over it and repaint the wall with latex paint. If the marks are somewhat dark - advise you employ a solid stain-masking primer like Kilz. otherwise, tremendously plenty any oil-based primer will do. no count if it fairly is a rented house, attitude your landlord - he might have some interior the janitorial room that he might make it easier to employ. solid success!

This may work as it gets oil stains + wax out of fabric. I put brown paper over the stain and iron it, and the stain tends to soak into the paper and leave the original surface. Make sure you don't burn the wall though, if you do, lemon juice get out burns.

I doubt you can remove it. Anything you use will damage the paint and no doubt become worse.
Yoy will have to re-paint, BUT DO NOT paint over the oil. It will bleed through.
FIRST, paint over the oil with "Aluminum Paint", then re-paint. It will not bleed through the Aluminum paint.
Works for mildew also.

put thunder blast on a rag and rub gently, be very careful if the paint is very old it may come off, can you match the paint to cover grease spots?
