How do you get car engine oil and suspension oil out of a tarmac drive?

Thank you.How do you get car engine oil and suspension oil out of a tarmac drive?
as the tarmac, ( I assume you mean asphalt ) is oil based, probably no way. However you can coat the whole drive with asphalt sealer and that will cover the stains for the most part and make the whole thing look new. It is part of regular periodic maintenance for an asphalt pavement anyway.





It occurred to me that you can get what you need to seal coat your drive yourself at Lowe's, Home Depot, and others. The sealer comes in gallons and five gallon containers, usually ready - to - apply. I have used a canister type pump sprayer to apply it in the past. These sprayers are used to apply many liquids. If you tell the salesman what you want to do he can help you with proper spray nozzzles and such. The instructions on the can are very simple and straightforward. It can also be applied with a tar brush or roller, though spraying is easier. Good luck :)
