dig up the oil soaked dirt and replace with good topsoil.
Plant some good seed in that new dirt and cover with lawn patch to get it started faster.
Dig it up, down to 3 feet or even more if you can still see oil. Fill with bagged topsoil and then re-seed.
dig it up and then get grass seed
till up the area, mix in potting soil, reseed.
It will never grow there.
Remove the grass and dirt six inches beyond the spill area.
Refill with dirt, and reseed.
Sorry, that’s the truth…..
Mr. know it all, doesn’t know it all. My grand dad had a shop with a dirt floor. He used old oil to keep the dirt moist for 30 years. Five years after the shop was torn down, you couldn’t identify where it sat. Next year grass will grow in that spot with out digging up three feet of soil, or even three inches. Just be patient.
there are certain plants that will actually digest the oil.
try something like kudzu
