On a car with no service records, just do any previous major service that was required to make sure that its "caught up". In your case, I'd change the oil immediately and then all you should need is the standard 30K service when you get there (and follow the standard intervals from there on out). My car had 82,000 miles when I bought it so the first thing that I did was the 60K major service (in case that was skipped) and then got back on the standard maintenance schedule at 90,000 miles. Of course, oil changes should still be done at whatever interval you like but probably shorter than the factory 15,000 interval (I change my oil every 5,000 miles).
