okay so i wanted to change my oil today...i went to advance auto parts to get an oil filter and some oil. i told the guy what car i have and he gave me an oil filter. so i proceed to change the oil and when i'm done i turn the car on and ALL of the oil just spurts out onto my driveway. stupid idiot at advance gave me the WRONG filter!!!

i need help...what can i use to clean up the oil? i already soaked it up, but i need to get the stain out. my driveway is WHITE CONCRETE! please help!

 

Simple green + power washer.

Good luck with the stain

 

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?

 

pressure washer will get it up no proublem.

 

if u drive a honda ur filter number should be 3593a for most brands.... i always check and its good to memorize something like that haha

sorry about your luck

 

make sure the o ring was on the filter.

 

next time use an OEM honda filter. it's worth the extra doller or two.

 

Ugh, thats not the problem, what it was is that she either was handed the wrong filter.. or the gasket on the old filter stuck to the block and double gasketed.
