Gasoline is a very good way to remove oil. I usually soak a rag in gas and wipe everything down. Most people don't like doing this because gasoline vapors are flammable. So you can use a degreaser and a pressure washer.

for future reference. mineral spirits is dirt cheap and eats up oil and grease like nothing else. simple green is always a good go to also
