What takes dirty motor oil off of concrete

besides Gunk?
Will acetone work? How about carburetor cleaner?
I've got some other strong solvents in the basement that I can maybe use.

 

I've used gas and sawdust, sweep it around with a stiff broom. It'll take the bulk of it off so you don't track it in the house. After that Sunlight dish soap will take most of the stain out [sometimes].

 

Thanks, guys. I'll try these less aggressive methods first before I use solvents.

 

As a second to last resort use muriatic acid. As a last resort, use a jackhammer..... ;-)

 

I bought that acid to remove stains from wet concrete on brick and I have not yet used it.
And I have a radio in the basement that I have been meaning to install in my truck since 2003.
It seems those oil stains from when I replaced a head gasket are not very noticeable so I guess now I may never do it. :beer:

 

Before you jack hammer it out just paint the driveway with used oil, People just try to hard.

 

did you try kitty litter? I use that to remove all the oil I have ever spilled

 

I've bookmarked this thread for when I need it! Thanks.

 

Super Clean and let it sit till you get around to using the hose

 

I think we have some shade tree mechanics on this site. . .

 

I used some RED coloured kitty litter on my new driveway (squished it into every oil drop) now I've got red spots all over the place.

 

U.K., right?
