The VW owners manual stipulates Castrol? How strange when from what I can gather, first fill (in Skodas at least) is Shell Helix Ultra X LongLife (not sold in AUS). I can't see any reason why VAG would have different first fill contract for the different brands.
Apart from that, there's no drama in mixing oils of the same specification - even the manual says that.

Yes, my service booklet states Castrol. As for mixing oil, I wouldn't do it unless I had to top up urgently and I had no access to the Castrol oil. Even though the specs might be the same, there would be subtle differences.
