Tricloralfloralethane which is no longer available cause it kills $hit. Your best bet is to take it to the cleaners and point out the stain second use rubbing alcohol but for the most part throw the shirt away because you already washed it once and the stain is probably set int now.

I heard you spray the area you spilled the oil on with hairspray and then let the hairspray dry and then wash your clothes. Not sure though. I saw it on TV somewhere awhile back.
