Hydraulic oil on asphalt

[Andy Hinson]

I have searched! I received a call to remove hyd. oil caused by a busted line onto an asphalt drive.
I will look at it after church. All suggestions appreciated

Kitty litter, some type of absorbent material. Any chemical that will break down the oil will break down the asphalt also.

I just had the same problem. A friend with a landscaping business had a problem on a street. I used Bio Dry for asphalt. It helped the wet oil but still leaves a line in the asphalt. He is bound I try pressure washing it. I am not going to, I am afraid of damaging the asphalt.

Get the worst of it up and let the sun and time do the rest. I've done lots of them and they won't look nice for a while but a few months later you won't know it had happened. The key is getting the oil off the surface so it doesn't eat the asphalt more than it already has.

Bio dry first i add a little arm&hammer powder laundry detergent sweep up. Hot water low pressure. Soap tip pressure just to break up oil and remove powder from biodry. It's time consuming so charge a lot!
