Best method for removing engine oil out of carpet?

[Lazarus]

Just wondering if they sell a solid brass cap 1/8 npt . rather delete it entirely. That and are the replacement carpets as good as OEM? Didn't get around to put floor mats in so it was contained within where a floor mat would hide it. Ol man suggested rice or kitty litter to pull it out after a scrubbing. Least my floor pan is permanently rust proofed.

A few years back I worked wonders with a Rug Doctor machine I rented from the grocery store. It had the upholstery tool. I used their chemicals. I was at it all day in an abused truck and it might have been easier to take the carpet out and take it to the quarter car wash but the result was excellent. I've also pulled the carpet out of a car and cleaned it at the quarter car wash with spectacular results but that's a lot of work and you need a warm sunny place to hang the carpet to dry. I've never understood the attraction with analog oil pressure gauges. I've always used electric. The idea of engine oil in the cab has always been a big turn off for me.

I use an SS braided line for my oil pressure

One of those surprises never expected. Rather do without. Po's idea that a $10.00 fancy chrome gauge set was worth the investment. Lol

I've tempted fate and have used a plastic oil pressure tube for many years without incident. However, I was conscience of it lurking under the dash and the potential problem it could cause. I've since gone electric, and my other car has an electric gauge as well.
If I were to go mechanical again, I'd use either copper tubing, or a braided stainless line.

If the gauge works I would just buy an Autometer copper oil line kit and I think they come with the correct adapter fitting to fit the back of most gauges. I would rather have it than not, it could warn you in time if something is going wrong.

I used a plastic line on a Buick engine I rebuilt years ago. On the first run I lost oil pressure and smoke poured out of the engine bay so I thought I lost the engine. Turned out the plastic line burnt on the headers ....never again will I save a few pennies to cause my heart to skip a few beats...

Well got out the wife's Ajax dish soap, her best scrub brush and her brand new shop vac. The oil came out after 6 attempts. Then went nuts. Holy sh*t!!!!! Should of seen the gunk come out of the seats. Literally looks like I had the car sent out for a new interior. Wife's pissed but damn it looks great. It got dark I'll take a few pics. But a $3.29 bottle of dish soap did wonders.
