Use the clay cat litter (don't use the clumping type, just plain old clay) to soak up as much of the oil as possible. I find stepping on it to break into smaller pieces seems to help. Let this sit on the oil for a few days, then sweep up. If further cleaning is desired, you will need to get or rent a high pressure washer to try to blast out the oil. Use a detergent additive compatible with the pressure washer for best results.
Unfortunately, concrete is porous so cleaning is difficult.

do the speedy dry thing, grind it in with your boots, let the dust sit for a day. then sweep it up, it should be thrown out in the trash, so we don't pollute. buy some castrol super clean, from an auto parts or hardware store, spray it on the driveway, brush well with a broom, rinse with a scrub, rinse again. i've seen a cleaner at the home depot by zep, i haven't tried it so i don't know how diluted it is, purple ..... something. what you are looking for in any cleaner for this type of job, is one with blue butyl in it. i mix it 50/50 with hot water, then put it in a garden sprayer, i do the engine with this and the driveway, too. you should wear gloves when using it since it will take the oil out of your hands. also, don't let it dry on car paint or glass, it will leave white marks when it dries. mixed 50/50 it will clean tires with a sponge and light scrubbing, it sucks the road grime right out of them, but you'll want to put some tire shine on when you're done. if this doesn't get your stain out, you can try it full strength in a squirt bottle. if that doesn't get the stain out, nothing will. good luck, hope this works for you.

What I did and it worked was to get a bottle of dishwashing detergent and liberally cover the spots. Then scrub with a stiff scrubbing brush for 10 minutes each. Then get a garden hose with high pressure nozzle and spray til all the suds are gone. Repeat as necessary. Muriatic acid will eat the ashphalt away.

Cat litter should be placed over the spot and ground in with your shoes. Let that sit for a day or two then grind some more. You may feel silly but it always worked for me.

Put cat litter on top of the stain for about a week
