re: Keeping your cake moist

I would like to find out when substituting oil for butter do you use the same amount? Example if the cake calls for 2 cups of butter and you want to use oil instead do you simply replace by 2 cups of oil, or is there another way to do it?
One more thing everyone talks about vegetable oil, what about canola oil, does that make a difference?
