Your costs are all ok. For every 5K kms if you are spending only 2000 bucks as an average which includes oil change, then its pretty much ok. Labour charge for 20K is a bit high. I remember being charged 750/- for my Civic for the 10K service.

For the NHC it is recommended to change oil every 5000kms and for the Civic its 10000 kms. However I remember reading in this forum that its good practice to change once every 5000 kms.

Also Honda uses Standard mineral oil as someone rightly pointed out. Its not synthetic like Skoda. (Explains the high service cost in Skoda)

Some dealers actually charge extra for a normal washing and cleaning of the car during service. In Honda its usually inclusive.
