Question

Is there a way to remove an oil spot off asfault driveway?

Answer 1

You could use Dawn dish soap or Simple Green, use it with hot water and a scrub brush and it should clean the oil stain right up

Answer 2

Use soap (dishwashing liquid with lemon) or non-phosphate detergent (liquid laundry detergent). Use newspaper or old rags or kitty litter to soak up the excess oil, then apply soap full strength, scrub it in with a brush, add a little water, scrub more with a brush, maybe wait a few minutes for the soap to soak (like a laundry presoak) then spray it down with water or mop it up.

Good Luck

Answer 3

I don't think so....mainly because the asphalt is oily itself. Any chemicals would remove the stain as well as some of the surface. You could try sealing it. That would cover the stain and also improve the life of your driveway.

Answer 4

I would try two things:

Kitty litter, ( regular cheap stuff) and a brick.

Use the brick to scrub the kitty litter into the stain.

Engine degreaser from an auto parts store.
