Oil Strains on driveway

[gilligans]

I know some of you have done this before, so please share. I have fresh oil stains on my driveway and apparently its a violation where i live. How to i get rid of them? Thanks so much in advance.

How fresh are they? Is the driveway asphalt or concrete?

Its concrete and its fresh on the left side, but not fresh on the ride side on a 2 car driveway.

I've tried bleach after soap and water before. It can be a real PITA once an oil stain settles in.

I'll swallow my pride and offer this. I had a similar predicament and got a lot of responses in that thread.

WD40, no lie. Works the best out of the things I've tried. But thats for a concrete driveway not an asphalt one.

Pressure washer works too.
