Perhaps they found something quite costly and want to repair your Car under the Warranty. You must provide proof of service when asked. You telling them what you did is not going to cut it. This helps contain costs for those of us who do maintain our CRUZE, and keep service records. Some here even take it a step further and purchase a GM Service Contract. If you do not have service records chances are your car won't be approved for any repairs as well, just how it works

Welcome to the forums. Have you been the original owner to this car? if so what oil were you using and when were you changing it out?
Also was this the last issue you had with the turbo?

The manufacturer will, from time to time, do a more 'in depth' failure analysis and I suspect this is the case, so don't be offended.
All manufacturers look at component failures and look for developing trends.
The intent, in your case, is to satisfy the powers that the correct rated oil has been utilized and serviced in a timely manner.
Folks that have the dealer service the car are never aware that this takes place because the records are available.
In this case, since the dealer cannot provide the info, the proof of service falls on you and your good record keeping.
The supporting information (service) satisfies the question of correct oil being used (this is the part description on your sales receipt) and your handwritten binder of some sort that corresponds (by date) to the oil/filter purchasses, as well as mileage performed.
Essentially the same information that would be found on a dealer service invoice.
The manufactuer of the Cruze is only looking for oil changes not exceeding 7500 miles and maximum time of one year......a fairly easy target that most owners don't ever reach before servicing the car.
Anyways, not a abnormal request in the car biz.

I would just show him the receipts so you can get your car fixed.

Welcome to CruzeTalk. GM want's to ensure the car was maintained according to the owners manual. Turbo failures are uncommon. Multiple turbo failures on the same car are rare. Having multiple turbo failures is a potential sign of improper or insufficient maintenance.
