What actually makes oil stains (on fabric) different than other stains that are easier to wash ?

Edit : so are you guys staying that oil does not stain differently but the fact that it doesn’t ‘stick’ to water makes it hard to wash ?

Because oil does not mix with water and thus is not dissolved with it. If you do use water you have to treat the oil stain with something that *does* dissolve it before the water can flush it away.
