Catalysis of the reaction: acyl-CoA + cholesterol = CoA + cholesterol ester. Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group to an oxygen atom on the acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the reaction: acyl-CoA + a sterol = CoA + a sterol ester. Catalysis of the reaction: acyl-CoA + ergosterol = CoA + ergosterol ester. Catalysis of the reaction: acyl-CoA + lanosterol = CoA + lanosterol ester. Catalysis of the generalized reaction: acyl-carrier + reactant = acyl-reactant + carrier.
