Any clay-based product will do better than using a solvent. I just
bought this stuff called SelectSorb Oil absorbent, which works great,
but in the past I have used plain old kitty litter. Just sprinkle the
stuff over the spill and grind it in with your shoe. Let it suck up the
oil for a few hours or even over night, then sweep it up. I recycle the
stuff back into the container and it lasts for years until it looses
absorbency
