Try OxiClean. Luckily it was just the trunk carpet which is not expensive or hard to replace.

Yeah throw it in the washer, and then throw it in the trash. The washer won't get the oil out, but it will make it all fuzzy and ruined.

Try to find some lifter1 stain remover in a spray can. Spray that, let it sit for a bit, and then wipe it with some paper towels. It'll come right off.
