I've got scratch recipes that use cooking oil and mine are always moist. Don't know how much oil is needed for a box cake though.

1/2 cup mayo or 1cup apple sauce!

I use unsweetened applesauce + one heaping tablespoon in direct proportion to the oil required. Do not overbake! My cake mixes come out fine. Check the date, adding 1/4 tsp of baking powder might be necessary if the date is more than a month of expiring.

Some people I read here actually do that for each cake mix regardless of the date. You might try that.
