Oil stains
I've had good luck removing oily stains by saturating them with 90% isopropyl alcohol, blotting, then re-treating and washing in hot water. Alcohol that strong (regular isopropyl alcohol is only about 70%) has pretty effective solvent properties. YMMV.

I like the look of that LG
but Bob's right - avoid the normal cycle on these new front load washers

Today is the day for my new washer
@zipdang: thanks for the tip
@mark_wpduet: The normal cycle is basically all I ever used with my old machine - not that it had much more than that. I'm looking forward to figuring out the different options.
My new washer should be here withing the next couple hours!

How exciting!
Hope you enjoy it and we'd love to see a picture.

Ange, been thinking about you all day and wondering how things are going. I had the Frigidaire version of your old washer too. All I ever used was normal. But that was a different time compared to what's offered now with more stringent energy star guidelines. Let us know how things went today. Bob
Got my new washer!
I did get my new washer. It arrived in time and was hooked up within minutes.
I already washed a load and I'm happy with the result!
The washer did create a lot of noise when it was filling with water. I read it's called water hammering noise and I need to adjust the water pressure. I will tackle that tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for your help! I really do appreciate it!

water hammering noise
Thanks loggix for the video. That's exactly what's happening and that's the same washer I got. I thought I just have to close the valves a little where the washer inlet hoses are connected. I didn't realize they meant to reduce the water pressure for the whole house....

Ange, I am glad your new washer arrived. My TL machine has AutoTemp control "ATC". It too bangs the pipes. Our house is very old 1949. You have had a lot of out of pocket expense a ruined load of clothes, the cost of a new machine. I would let things "settle in a bit" then reassess if it really is that big of a deal. Best of luck with your new machine. Did you get any detergent coupons with your new washer? I just wondered what they are these days?
@logixx are those devices threaded screw DIY, or do you need a plumber?
