Butter typically contains about 80-82% fat, while oleo, or margarine, can vary but generally has a fat content ranging from 30% to 80%. The main difference lies in their composition: butter is made from cream, while oleo is made from vegetable oils and may include emulsifiers and other additives. This variation in fat content and source can affect the texture and flavor of each product.
yes, butter can be used instead of margarine (the term oleo is archaic)

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. One stick of oleo is equivalent to 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons. So if you need to butter up some toast or whip up a batch of cookies, just grab that stick of oleo and get cookin'.
Here in the US, that's two sticks; as four sticks equals one whole pound of butter, or oleo-margarine.
Ghee, oil, oleo, shortening are the other words which could replace the word butter or margarine.

Using butter means that the cake will turn out exactly as the person who designed the recipe intended. Using oleo spread should still mean that the cake turns out in a relatively similar way, possibly with a slightly different taste. However, spreads and margarines contain a higher water content than butter, which means you need to remove some liquid from the rest of the recipe in order that the batter is the correct consistency before baking. I should also point out that any kinds of spreads/margarines should not be used for "buttercream icing" or similar, since they tend to leave a cloying/oily film on the tongue in a way which butter does not.
