To get the oil out , put baby powder on it, let it soak up the oil, shake off excess, ( this works best when stain is fresh, and wont work on silk) then launder in machine but pre- treat with a stain remover first. Machine wash it at the highest temperature allowed. for the shirt. Put bleach on it if its a white shirt that can take bleach. before machine washing.

Massage a bit of Dawn dish detergent into the stain. Rinse with cool water. Re-apply Dawn to stain. Wash as usual. Do not dry in your dryer as it will "set" the stain. Lay flat or hang on a hanger to air dry. Once the shirt is dry, check to make sure stain is removed. Be sure to look at it in fairly bright light. If the stain is faint but still present, repeat above steps. I have RARELY had to repeat. In the cases that I have, it is because the stain sat for over night or longer.
