The two aren't precisely equivalent. To know whether or not you can replace shortening with oil in any given recipe, you may need to try it and see. As a starting point for your experiments, you should probably use approximately 1/4 less oil than the recipe calls for in shortening. Adjust this up or down depending on results.
