Any suggestions on how to get the oil out even a little bit.

Thanks,

I had the same problem.....I made a bonehead error and ended up dumping some oil on my teak. It has lightened quite a bit over a couple months. Not sure there is anything we can do other than be patient and let the oil weather and lift off naturally.
