I still have 3 free full synth changes at the dealership and i will be going back to a 93 tune for the winter

I would probably change the oil twice as often as you would on 93.
"If you are going to run E85 long term you should make sure your oil is E85 compatible (SN or GF-5 rated oils are generally Bio-fuel E85 compatible), and change your oil twice as often if your paranoid. If you get oil analysis done and your not showing fuel dilution you may be able to run standard oil change intervals, im just being safe here.

You may consider running something similar to Lucas Ethanol Treatment."
