Oil Spill on Rear Hatch Carpet - how to clean?

Spilled half a bottle of oil on my rear hatch carpet. Any ideas on the best ways to clean this? Have bottles of Simple Green and various other carpet cleaners at home.

Any body have rear carpet that they would like to sell?

Found a used one for $5 from jl74 so I tossed the old one. I discovered that almost three quarts of oil had soaked into it (my old oil container leaked) so it was not really salvagable. Thanks for all the suggestions.
