Heyy guys. Im sorrie in advance if this isnt in the right forum... i just dont know where it would belong and i need help fast...
Long story short... I change my motor oil.... did'nt know wut i was thinking but didnt tighten the oil filter... turned out the car... BAM! spits out oil ALL OVER THE DRIVE WAY!! spilled every drop of oil that was newly changed in the motor...

HOW can i get these stains off my drive way?? THANKS! its been 1 day already... as i have tried everything .. thanks!

 

lots of dirt, sand, or kitty liter.

or that oil absorbent stuff from your local auto parts store, or try pouring gasoline all over it then let it set and soak for a while then take a mop and mop it all up...that **** worked for me....

 

Well i have tried gasoline... didnt work for me.. i dont think sand/kitty liter works now because its been a day already. its dried up basically. THanks!

 

fulcidic acid ( i think its spelled that way) that will take everything off your drive way and leave it minty clean

 

(Waltmart) GREEN sumtin.. u could also go to Petsmart and buy some stuff they use for animal beading.. its like wood shaving!

if its dried up it might be too late, you want to get that oil covered up when its fresh....

 

purple power is the way to go...strong **** man...

WHere can i get that at?

 

I don't want to make another thread so ill just ask here also...

Is my alternator f'cked now that it was SOAKED with motor oil?

 

Just dont get muridic acid (if thats how you spell it), that **** eats the concrete lol. Isn't there something at home depot or lowes that is desinged to rid driveways of oil etc? might be worth a shot.

 

lowes and home depot both sell a specific cleaner for oil in concrete

 

my poor driveway..........

 

Yikes good luck with that. Nice cage ya got there.

 

wow did push all 4 quarts out before you shut the car off?

 

wow! thats a big mess, did u wipe it up with some dirty towels or rags and then let it set there or did u like leave the oil there and then let it dry up after a few days????

ive had that happen to me before where i get in a rush when changing oil. i went onto put the oil filter on. put the drain plug back in and fill her up and start it up and all the oil comes out. the culprit was the the rubber seal on the old oil filter was still on the back of the block and when i put the new oil filter on now there were 2 rubber seal deals on there, the 1 that was already on the block, and the 1 that comes standard on most oil filters...........

 

Yeh.... lol... for me.. i just 4got to tighten that filter... was in a rush... had to get to work. Well when i started the car.. it made this funny sound like squrting sound... soo i pop the hood saw wut happened then i was like OOO ****!... ***stood there like an idiot some what amazed...*** then shut off the car... and i had to retighten the filter. Soaked up with towels.. and then sprayed with water... and now it turned into that.... i couldnt do much yesterday cuz by the time i got off work it was alrdy 10pm..


So where can i get those products?

 

i dug up some dirt to put on top of my oil spill while it was fresh......i let it set for about a week.

most of the products listed by others can be bought at your local auto part store id think......

 

Home Depot | Lowes | Kragen | VATOzone etc.
