Yea I am most worried about the discoloration more than anything... That'd look hideous...

One suggestion I could make is once you pull the carpet, suck up as much oil as humanly possible, you could try a small amount of dish soap since it is an oil/grease cutter. Worst case scenario you put way too much and you spend a good 1-2hrs trying to get it to stop making suds.

Who the hell keeps oil INSIDE their car??? Do we even want to know what you keep in your trunk if you're keeping oil inside the car?

man, throw me in the club of stpid idiots anyways.

I had abot 3 gallons of oil that I ran down to dispose of which is like literally .2 miles from where I was living, just had it on the floor in the passanger foot well.

Well... I get there guy says "oil drum is full" I got home and forgot about the oil because we were moving that week and I had a trunk full of stuff. Yeah, that spilled, DIRTY OIL, about 3/4 gallon I would guess got out. This was a while back, I got a beater finally and the STi is in the garage lacking interior right now as I try to clean up the mess. It needed a clean anyways, I'm trying to find a good way to clean the fabrics in the STi now beside the carpet. (that's why I'm in the section to begin with)

my girlfriend once left a gallon of milk in the trunk of my camry, in the middle of summer, in Chicago, for two months until I finally found what the horrible rotting smell was. Milk had blown up and half of it was sitting in the rear fender, sloshing around, getting stinkier.......Took 3 details to get the smell out. then we had a nice fight.....

Well... Let's just say that oil doesn't come out of carpet very well... I tried degreaser, lysol, soap... I got most of it out but it seems that there is still some just "stuck" onto the carpet... Beh. I sprayed the **** out of it with Febreeze and put an air freshener tree under the passenger seat. Hopefully when the water dries up from washing it I can tell if there is still a puddle of oil sitting there.
