Oily stains respond well to an alkaline cleaner.  Most cleaners are at least slightly alkaline.   The alkaline turns the fat to "soap" (think lye and lard soap), that you can rinse and extract.  If you don't have a fabric cleaning machine (or home carpet cleaner with an upholstery head), you can use spray bottles and a wet-dry shop vac in a pinch.
