There's always changing your oil early and getting it analyzed.
It's typical of his answers. Gives part his opinion but will never give you the whole nugget because you should know how to figure it out.

Basically, if you have no fuel dilution issues, there is no problem. If you have a fuel dilution issue that shows up in your UOA, address it. E85 is more acidic and can form compounds in the oil, but as long as you don't have an excess amount in your oil it is not significant.
