    try soaking the oil stain up with some cornstarch or powdery floury substance. Tapioca flour works as well etc. After keeping it on there for a while try rubbing that starch in and continue to add more to try to get as much oil soaked up. Then apply dish soap to the patch. Continue to work the dish soap into the fibers along with the cornstarch with a nail brush or toothbrush. Then wash. Good luck!
