What I learned & used from years ago is plain ole TIDE laundry soap Granulated. Wet the concrete sprinkle on some Tide & get a stiff broom & work it real good then wash off. It may take a few times.

I have had good luck with a cleaner called "Oil eater" made by Kafko International Ltd.
I get it from my oil supplier. Google it to find dealers, it is great on smooth shop floors, don't know about rough driveways.

(No mention of garage until now. . . . )
IF you're trying to remove stains from the garage floor, get some "Clean-Sweep" and spread that on the old oil stains and let it sit for a day, or so.
Repeat a couple of times. "Clean-Sweep" will HELP draw the oil out.
Also CRC Brakleen will cut/disolve oil, too.

I went to the Dollar Tree and bought 2 bottles of the off-brand GREEN degreaser and 2 bags of cheap clay kitty litter. Sprayed on liberally and then put litter on top. Then took a stiff broom and worked it in.....added more degreaser and topped with cat litter. Let it sit for a few hours, then repeated the procedure. Worked like a charm...most of my stain was transmission fluid, though.
