Oil stain removal from tile driveway

Figured a bimmer forum is the best place to ask. Had a leaky oil pan and I want to remove the stains. Looking online, seems brake fluid works best, any suggestions?

I've used some dishwashing soap on it and let it stay for a bit and pressure wash it (soap don't absorb it but it makes the oil come to the surface so you can "wash" it away), if it's not dried yet you could use some absorbing material/sand that soaks it up.

Try baking soda. Spread on the stain and leave it to soak up.

Kitty litter can stick if it gets wet, or stuck in grooves. It only works for a smooth shop floor. I wouldn't bother.

If it's wet oil the best is sawdust. Work in with a broom. Move it around. It keeps sucking it up. Shop vac it out of the grooves.

Then I mix Tide detergent 50/50 with water, and spray it on thick. Work it with a broom, and spray off. If you have hot water even better. Repeat until happy.
