Getting oil stains out of concrete is beating me

probably a daft question, but how do you actually get oil stains out of concrete? it's a wool rug, so nothing fancy. does it need anything special, or is it just patience?

For a fresh spill, cover it in cat litter or sawdust, grind it in with your shoe, leave a day, sweep. That pulls most of it out. Older stains need a degreaser. Concrete or engine degreaser, or a strong washing-up liquid, scrubbed in with a stiff brush and hot water, then rinsed. Pressure washing after helps. Expect a shadow to stay on old stains, concrete is porous and you rarely get it back to perfect.
