I couldn't find any analysis' showing e85 having a large negative effect, but a LOT of talk of it being a thing
Any oil with ESTER will turn to jelly when you use E85 I have seen this happen with 300V, best to use a synthetic fortified oil as recommend by Motul.
We have built many race cars in the last 5+years that only use E85 so what I know about this issue is from the real world.
