yea soak it with cat liter then use like purple power mineral spirits or something then possibly power wash it, "but anyway are you getting a refund on your oil?"

the cat litter, if allowed to sit for an extended amount of time might actually be able to draw some of the oil out of the driveway not just off the surface.

you sure its the wrong oil filter? you may have had a gasket from the old filter stay up there and double gasket it. it happens at work sometimes and makes a hell of a mess.
but any type of degreaser should work. maybe some bleach?
