In most applications, yes. Replacing butter with oil would work well in applications such as sauteeing vegetables. I wouldn't recommend replacing butter with oil in baking applications. Butter has water in it that evaporates when in a baked good. When that water evaporates, it leave behind tiny air pockets which translate to an airy/ flaky baked good. If you used oil, your recipie could turn out flat or soggy.

∙ 14y agoI think you intend to fry something. Well, sure you can. And in fact it is gives your fried food a special taste. So try it out.
But be a little bit more careful with the temperature, because despite oil, butter becomes easily scorched because of the proteins in it. Your food thus tastes no longer so good.
Good luck.
