What oil should I use to replace Elf LDX 5w40?

[flatfour562]

I've used my entire stash of Elf ldx 5w40 in my Subaru STi.
Now, I don't know what oil to go with. I can get Lubro Moly 5W40 locally for a about 29 bucks for 5 liters. Any suggestions?

Uoa on the Elf oil.

How about Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 or Rotella T Synthetic 5W-40?

Second the Rotella T Synthetic 5w40 suggestion - looking at the various used oil analysis of this oil in Subaru engines, it seems to be a good match.

Is the Rotella available at Auto Zone? I went there last month and don't recall seeing any Rotella oil.

You might give Amsoil DEO 5W-40 a try.

It is, but it's cheaper at Wal-Mart - $19/gallon.

Elf LDX 5w40 became Total Quartz 9000 5w40

I'll third the rec. for Rotella T Synthetic 5w40. Great oil at a great price.

Total has replaced the ELF line with the "Total" branding. The ELF LDX 5w-40 is now Total Quartz Energy 9000 (5w-40).
