ur talking about oil dri but i believe hes talking about the residual stain left over after u do that in the even the oil dri doesnt get it all...a good concrete cleaner will usually do the trick....sometimes depending on the concrete ive used brake clean to get it off....the big question is how long has the oil stain been there...if its been a while good luck...paint over it

Use that, then get the strongest driveway/garage cleaner that you can get, and a super stiff bristled push broom...go to town.

I know my friend used Tide laundry power and a good bristle brush.

Muratic acid cleans well, might be illegal. wear something you don't care about while doing it
