My new floor is bare concrete and the
thing I don't like about it is oil soaks in. Bummer.

At worst, it's nothing more than an inconvenience, Grant. When you find
a spill, wipe up the free oil, then cover the area with solvent and wipe it
about with a small brush until you've dissolved all the surface oil. Cover
the area with Oil-Dri, then saturate the Oil-Dri with more solvent
(Stoddard, or mineral spirits). Let air dry. When it's dry, the stain is
usually gone. If not, repeat. The capillary action of the evaporating
solvent will draw the diluted oil out of the concrete. Works like a charm.
I've removed years old oil stains in driveways with compete success.
