You need to NOT put water on oil/grease stains. Immediately, lay the garment flat (such as on the washing machine) and squeeze an ample amount of baby powder on the stain so it is built up and thick covering the stain entirely. Leave the garment like that for around 2-3 days. The grease will lift right off the clothing and get absorbed into the powder. After waiting the 2-3 days, just dust off. Don't rub it, though! If a little remains, do the same process again. It may take 2-3 times but eventually, it will literally be entirely gone! It's an old Italian trick!
Oil and grease stains are tough to remove from clothes because they resist water. The water in a washing machine works around the stain. Detergent makes it possible to remove oil and grease stains.

The fluids used to dry-clean clothing can remove grease even when water cannot because grease does not react to water because it is a water-resistant substance. However, the dry-clean fluids' molecules have chemical bonds, which removes the grease.
Yes, blood stains clothes. It is a protein stain, and is difficult to remove. If you have a blood stain to remove, use cold water and pretreat it with OxyClean.
Different stains are difficult to remove for different reasons. Oil stains are difficult because they resist the water used to clean them. Protein stains are difficult because they can change and become more stuck into the fabric over time adn with heat. Dye stains are difficult because they are products designed to change the color of things, and clothes are not an exception.

WD40 and some elbow grease
Grease will come easily from many fabrics but chemically bonds to others. Polyester fabric is notorious for bonding to greases and permanently discolors the fabric. Nylon, cotton, wool and some other fabrics clean easily and oil releases simply with mild detergents. Other fabrics won't release grease no matter what you try. Sometimes the only solution is to throw away the cloths.
Apply neat washing up liquid directly onto the grease. Leave overnight and then machine wash as normal. I have used this technique on a variety of fabrics and found it highly effective.
Yes you can, I wash my husbands jeans with Lestoil to remove grease, gasoline and it works.

The best way to get grease out of clothes is to wash the soiled garment immediately. If cool water and laundry soap do not remove the stain, dish soap - which is made for cutting grease - is often the best option.

The best way to get the transmission fluid smell out of your clothes is to wash them in something that cuts through grease. Many mechanics use Oxy-clean to remove these types of stains.
