Dry cleaning fluid is the best way to remove grease and oil. So, I second taking them to the dry cleaner.
You can buy what is essentially dry cleaning fluid in a spray can, if you buy the original CRC brake cleaner in the red can, at an auto parts store.
It is difficult to spot clean grease and oil with dry cleaning fluid, because the oil tends to make a ring around the edge, where you stop. Full immersion in the dry cleaning fluid eliminates that problem.
Before the brake cleaner dries, you will still need to soak the clothes in a bucket, with water and Tide, or Lestoil, or Dawn. take your pick. After a day or two, wash them normally.
I have removed a lot of stains that were missed and supposedly"set". So, I don't pay much attention to that concept. It is easier to do it right the first time, but not impossible to do it right the second time.
My dads best friend is a dry cleaner. One of their "secrets" for removing stains, is using compressed air, after soaking, or steaming them.
