I would start with some 50-50 mix of IPA (not beer, isopropyl alcohol) and water and if that doesn’t phase it, 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, 08984. You can often find it at WalMart or at a good NAPA for sure. You’ll have to re-wax the area you clean, but that’s a small price to pay to

Even the ESP stuff is fairly cheap, and saves the number of oil changes needed if you go to extended intervals. Cars and mechanical work are expensive; IMO it makes sense to spend a bit more for better performance under adverse conditions. As far as quickie oil change places: When changing oil
