Does anyone know how to get oil stains out of denim jeans.?

Some oil had leaked on the floor and I think my 4year old grandson knelt down in it. The jeans have been washed three times but the stain is still there. Any suggestions.

I've always found vanish stick very good.

Rub it on before washing and then wash as normal.
Use disk washing detergent. It's the best.
Try vanish oxy action - its really good

Rub in some wasing up liquid and then wash at the hottest wash suitable for your denim in the washing machine as usual. Have tried it on my jeans and it works on blue ones!
pre treat with "Goop" hand cleaner. Rub it in copiously with a stiff brush this stuff will loosen the set-in stuff then wash in hot water. Repeat with regular wash cycle because the goop does smell a little manly if you don't get it all out.
Try a little washing up liquid soaked in before washing and add one scoop of vanish oxi-action to your normal powder if this doesn't work, i don't think anything will

I would also try fayaz's idea. I just read an article on all the uses for Coke Cola. The other idea is to try Breck shampoo. Put it on the stain and rub it in. Let set for 20 minutes, then wash.I have also used dog shampoo before and it worked well. You could also try Oxi clean. I think you are one of the lucky ones who received many good answers. Good luck with removing that stain.
Sunlight dish soap.
Put some on rub it in and let it sit for awhile then wash them.
But if they have been washed once or twice it may not come out.
It should come out if not he has his first pair of garage jeans.
squirt some washing up liquid on the affected area then put on a normal wash, it should work ive done it with hubby's work clothes before
soak them for several days in a bucket with dish soap, laundry detergent and oxy clean and water. Then wash as normal
The old fashioned way is to use grease on grease. Such as hard white Crisco with a toothbrush. Then wash. If that isn't doing the trick try hairspray
this my sound funny to you but you can buy soft water in a box. its a powder. you can soak it in their or try 20 mule team borax that a good general purpose cleaner. you can find it in stores by the laundry soap. directions on the box. good luck

OIL..

First try liquid dishwashing soap (hand wash dishes with), it is a grease fighter, so it will raise the stain to the surface and it gets out all my oil stains.. Trust me it works. Then wash in cold water.

If not try DOVE soap that stuff rocks on taking out the trickeist of stains!
Rub butter or marge on it and keep scraping it off before washing.
I found this out as a kid as it gets off anti climbing paint.
Soak the stained jeans in identical oil and the stains will appear to have vanished.
Stain devils do a roll on for oil, grease and grass stains you can get it at most supermarkets
try lestoil i heard it workes when it comes to pretreating stains "greased lightning" works best
