When I get oil on my DRIVEWAY, I use Tide to get it up. Sprinkle some down and scrub it in with a little bit of water. Since Tide is obviously for clothes, this may work pretty well...give it a shot. Also, things like Gojo (which is an automotive hand cleaner) work well to remove oil and grease from HANDS, so you may want to be careful if you try it on a blouse or bra. Maybe even a liquid face-cleaner? I've noticed that Neutrogena cleans up what's left on my hands when I hop in the shower after working on a car.
If you try any of these and it works...I'd actually like to know. It's some quality info to have...let me know if it does.

Apply an absorbent such as talcum powder or cornstarch to the affected area, then brush away. If the stain is heavy or old, proceed to Step 2; if fresh, skip to Step 3.
Step 2. Place stain facedown on paper towels. Blot back of stain with a dry-cleaning solvent (If you dont have this, use Dawn). Replace paper towels as they soak up the stain.
Step 3. Spray with laundry pretreatment.
Step 4. Wash in the hottest water that's safe for the garment.
Air dry.

Rub a soluble oil into the troublesome spot, such as Eucalyptus oil. I know it sound weird. You have nothing to lose. Besides what you might have lost already. Then wash it normally, Lace bras, I'd say get a gentle hand wash. Tell the mechanic it is out of bounds.....

Serious Answer.
I get oil and grease on my clothes all the time.
Get the Spray and Wash stick. It looks like a soft candle.
Smear in on the spot and wash regularly. Check to see that the spot is all gone before putting in the dryer. If not re-apply and re wash. Some shirts I thought I had ruined, came out clean.

I'd be interested to know how engine oil got INTO a white lace bra -- hope it was fun!
I think I'd do my best with Spray and Wash, a dry washcloth and an old toothbrush, just get it out as best you can.

Is that what the boss told you to wear on your first day at work as a mechanic?
Try dabing it with white spirit & have a cloth behind it while you do it. Let it evaporate, then pre-treat it with a detergent before washing it at 40c.
There are stain pre-treatments which are designed for oily stains.
Don't bother letting it dry - I'm sure the boss won't mind watching it dry out on you at work.

Have you Red Necks been at it again?
Have you tried first spraying it with WD40 to break down the oil (wads of tissue underneath to soak the oil up) then putting it on a boil wash with Vanish Oxy-Action in the wash.

You need to use a stain remover. I use one called 'Stain devil'.
Get the one specifically for fat/grease/oil as it works really well with engine oil. I use it all the time, normally after messing around under the bonnet of my car while wearing a white teeshirt...Doh!

How did you get engine oil in your white lace bra??
If you try rubbing a bit of fairy washing up liquid into the oil it should break it down so you can then wash it.
Hope this helps .
