Black spots appraisal on clothes that are washed in machine?

Black spots sometimes appear on clothes that have been washed in machine. When a very full load is done the clothes have oil on them

Are you sure it is oil? There is a situation that occurs that leaves a deposit on the clothes that looks like oil but isn't..... these days we wash our clothes at 40deg this creates a sludge in the machine in the outer tank, when you load the machine fully the vibration causes the sludge to fall off the tank and on to the clothes. Try running a cleaner and sanitiser through the machine on high temp prog. It is available from supermarkets not lime scale remover, it is a cleaner.

Having oil on your clothes AFTER washing is a VERY, VERY bad sign. It often indicate that a catastrophic and fatal failure may appen at any time. :(

NEVER EVER overfill your machine!!!

If at all possible, don't fill to more than 3/4 load, idealy no more than 2/3 to be safe untill the problem is fixed.
Demmand to every body in your household to be REALY carefull with the washing machine and reduce their loading to the recommended amounts.
You may have a problem with the gear box, maybe a worn bushing or something more serious.
Call a thencitian to take a look and maybe repair the machine.
Sadly, you may need to get a new washer.
