Steve - Greetings from Tokyo! Cat litter made with clay is a very good way of cleaning up oil spills. You sprinkle it onto the spill, and let it soak up the oil for a few minutes. Then, you sweep up the cat litter, and the place where the oil was spilled is usaually quite clean. This material works for almost all liquid spills. In an emergency, you can also soak up oil with dirt. This works pretty well, although not quite as good as clay-based cat litter.

Paper towels don't seem to work well. Shop rags are expensive.
