The dish soap will break down the oil and the carbonated water will lift it to the surface so it can be removed with the drying towel. Once the drying towel gets too wet switch to a new dry towel. Be patient and be prepared to do this several times until the oil is removed. If you no longer see oil transferring to your drying towel it's time to call in a professional carpet cleaner.
