The Trent is not a US engine. It is from the UK and is therefore certicated by EASA. So the FAA process you quoted does not strictly speaking apply.

However the FAA process appears to be broadly in line with my summary.

Specifications are not usually tight enough. Hence brand names and careful control of oil suppliers is required
