Default Used C7 with 30K maintenance?

Just got a 15 with 30K on it, what maintenance should I do at this point? I'm thinking oil change, balance tires, (do they get shifted side to side like a rotate sort of) check brakes, change air filter.

Anything else?

Thanks

On page 11-5 and 11-7 of your owner's manual, there are maintenance schedules for normal and severe duty respectively.

There isn't a lot that needs to be done at 30K. The oil needs to be changed according to the OLM or at least once per year. If you don't know when the oil was changed last the OLM may tell you how much life you have left. It counts down to zero even if you never drive the car over the period of a year. If the tires look like they are wearing well where they are and don't bounce there isn't any reason to touch them right away. For all you know they may have been just moved from side to side and balanced.

Some folks are harder than others on brakes. I'd definitely take wheels off and measure pad thickness. You can probably visually inspect with a mirror and flashlight as well to get a general idea of health.
