Aluminum is a fairly reactive metal, the only common acid I know of that is compatible is nitric acid in concentrations of 20% v/v or less and it certainly wouldn't be of any value in removing accumulated grease and oil. DO NOT use hydrochloric (a/k/a muriatic), and DO NOT use oven cleaner, it's alkaline which is a classic etchant for dissolving aluminum!

Stick to solvents.
