Try a little volatile solvent. May be an oil from the plant.

A variety of completely different solvent chemistry types seems to be very helpful for premium cleaners. I've read guys say this several times in different places. Occassionally I myself have found that one kind of solvent does absolutely nothing and yet a different solvent readily pulls up the spot. I look forward to having insane heat too, for the spots that don't otherwise budge.

Patch it

Googone.
I use the bottle with the small pee hole so its easier to put it all in one small spot. Use the cap to aggitate it. Rinse well.
Its the only spotter I use anymore besides 40 volume on stains.

What ive found to be a great spotter for small grease/ oil stains is a quick shot of brake parts clean quickly followed by hwe i keep a can on my van all the time. Picked up that trick keeping my repair bays carpet clean if at first it didn't come up with the prespray and rotary a squirt and another pass and it's always gone

Not sure why you have trouble with it. You have to flush it to remove the spot anyway. It is for the hard spots.
I found fels was a lot more work and less effective.

 

[hogjowl]

Of course you did

Just be sure when using brake parts cleaner( aerosol lacquer thinner is what it really is) that you dont over saturate and you immediately rinse it out so as not do damage to the carpet structure or any glue down backing . Where i live theres still alot of homes heated by wood this has been extremely effective for dissolving and removing pine & fir sap chunks/ spots from carpets and area rugs around fireplaces / woodstoves and wood boxes
