I used a product made by Thompsons from B&Q to remove oil stains from my patio. I'd say it removed about 90% of the stain and I now hardly notice it.
Have a look at

use a product called 'GUNK'.
it is basically a degreaser used by many people such as mechanics for oil.
you get different types, an engine degreaser in a spray form and a driveway cleaner in a liquid. go for the liquide driveway cleaner, it comes in a red/orange packaging,
can be brought from halfords definately at around a fiver i think.
