If you dried the shirt it may be that the stain is there to stay. Heat will set the stain. Try treating the stain again a few times--without drying the shirt and see if you can get it out. Here's some info: https://oureverydaylife.com/grease-stains-out-clothing-already-dried-30504.html
I've had some luck with Resolve stain remover, but don't know if it will work on a dried-in stain. Always air dry when you're trying to get a stain out, then you can retreat each time until you find the solution.
Also, there is a small-size Tide detergent stain treat pen you can buy where detergent is sold. You might want to keep one handy in your car for quick attention to stains.
