I think there is one oil company that makes such an oil, but it's a farce.
I think you can.
Magnatec 10w-30
Magnatec 5w-30
STJLR.03.5005 and the Ford Spec align with ACEA C1 - Low(est) SAPS and HTHS > 2.9, SAE 5w-30
ACEA C2 does not exceed this spec however ACEA C2 formulations can be approved. ACEA C2 allows for higher SA and HTHS so not all ACEA C2 oils will meet the requirements. If it's under warranty, be sure...
If you need 913-D or A5/B5, API specs are of secondary importance, perhaps even irrelevant. As they do not all align, why would you bother? Saying that Castrol 913-D products are API SN
It would probably be easier to compare oils of the same viscosity as the specs are then more comparable.
HTHS is fairly different. One other noticeable difference is LL-01. Edge 5w-30 A3/B4 has been revised to meet the latest LL-01. I do not think HPR 5 meets this.
Most ISO 220 gear oils are EP but not GL-5 performance
non EP gear oil is usually synthetic however mineral circulating oils and hydraulic oils would also qualify. e.g.
Mobil SHC 630
Castrol Alphasyn T 220
Hyspin AWS 220
Tellus 220
Magna CTX 220 WT
SAE 50 CF-2 or Cat TO-4 would be there about...

Exactly, Shell 10w-60 was one of the few FIAT approved oils for the older Maserati engines, before they used Ferrari engines.
