can you use hydraulic oil to soften leather in boots

No.

Petroleum based products are bad for leather.

You could but I wouldn't. Just get some mink oil. Or really any kind of leather conditioner. I'm pretty sure the hydraulic oil soaked leather would end up being pretty nasty after a while. Your feet may protest. ERS
