Fish.
Get some raw fish, rub it all over your drive, all over the car, all over your face, dont wash it off, the oil will be gone no problems.
I swear.
Rotten fish works best.
Or stand there beating one off on the driveway, spunk all over the oil, that removes it, you cant do it at night either, must be in broad daylight for the sunlight to react with it to remove the oil
Go on, try it

Don't leave it too long, when you get a pressure washer on it when it's soaked in, it'll rip the driveway up, I speak from experience!
(and it's a decent washer, and no, Seamus and his merry band didn't do it either!)

whilst still tacky you could cover use non slip surface like used near school crossing etc, i know this is possible i used to paint lines on the road and also lay this type of surfacing

Try brick acid, available from any builders merchants, rub in with a stiff brush, let sit for a while , rinse and repeat until you gain the result your after. Takes a little time, but it works. Wear gloves and dont get it in your eyes!!

black tarmac works well. Can be applied over the top and just vanishes by the morning. Can leave a mound on occasions and will reappear if removed

it did a mint job, came up like new and stayed there I think Wickes may well do it.
