I agree. Kitty litter works well. (Or oil-dry, which is the same as kitty
litter, but maybe doesn't have the same deoderizers.) You can still buy
haz-mats, but they are better to place under a leak if the car is parked
somewhere temporarily and you want to protect the floor. They don't work as
well for cleaning up a spill.
Even if you clean it up, dirty oil will still stain a concrete garage floor,
so it's better to catch the spill before it hits the surface. You can buy
used baker's sheet pans (18" X 22") fill them half way with kitty litter and
put one under the car.
