any thoughts on what the heck happen.. only a very small amount.. first thought it was water for it was a rainy day an maybe the tech gots his shoes wet .. humm they do put paper matts down ..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the wipe up on the floor matt .. checking again today to see the oil is there today ..

If it's motor oil, the only way it got there was for the technician to accidently bring it inside somehow. There's no way the engine could be leaking oil into the passenger compartment. Even if the tech was lazy and changed the filter without removing the skid plate, the residual oil still wouldn't end up inside the truck.

I'd look up under the dash or on the pedals to see if there's oil somewhere that could be dripping down (very slowly, of course) onto the floor mat.

I just checked .. nothing showing on the floor mat.. looked under dash nothing I could see.. looked under the hood and nothing to see wet.. with everything covered how's one to see anything..
so maybe the tech was lazy ...
thanks ..

Pick up a thick piece of plastic sheet or tarp and lay it down on the mats next time you have someone servicing your vehicle. A thick beach towel on the seat is also a consideration.

I have found a good hand cleaner, medium scrub brush and water removes grease pretty well without damage to the mat.

tammy ....thanks for the infor ..
I have the husky liners .. front & back & cargo ..love them..
so no damage to carpet at all.

brake clean also removes grease and oil well (dry cleaners actually use a version of the stuff). Generally will not harm paint carpets etc, just test in a small area, spray it on a rag and blot up the grease or oil.
