You can refresh it with some of the oil, but LP is the stuff you want.

Wholesale Sports and almost all Logging supply stores stock the LP in case you don't want to order online.

Nikwax. Only stuff I use on mine.

I put Nikwax on mine, it made them look like they have crap growing on them. Never again. Maybe there's something wrong with my Nikwax but I won't put it on my boots again. I've only ever used mink oil and have had no issues. It makes the infamous Meindl squeak go away for me too.
