Cleaning up a car oil spill

[Erick Estrada]

Oven cleaner.

I've been told that the oil absorbing properties of Penguins simply cant be beat.

Is your driveway asphalt or concrete? If it's asphalt, don't use anything oil based to thin/clean the stain you'll only degrade the surface further. Either way, a cleaner like this is what you need.

[DownhillGoat]

Sawdust, then TSP to remove the stain (assuming it's concrete).

[speede5]

Kitty litter or sawdust for the main spill.

Brake cleaner will get rid of the stain, spray on wipe off. I use it all the time, motor oil, trans fluid, gear oil.

That sounds like the fastest way to get in trouble for it.

TSP is what i use.

Another for TSP. You'll have to go over it a few times but it will fade the stain quite a bit.

OK, what is TSP? Tried to google it but not sure about what I got back for results.
