I just stumbled across the following information doing a bit of google searching on engine oils.

I contacted Chrysler where spokesman Max Gates told us that any oil meeting Chrysler's specifications M-9214 or M-6395 can be used along with E85 fuel. I contacted a couple of oil companies (Chevron and Texaco this time) and was told that their oils do, indeed, meet those specs. I think it is safe to say that most motor oils meet the specs. Otherwise, there would be an epidemic of minivans breaking down.

Note that the Mobil 1 Truck and SUV oil has the M-6395 approval.
There are probably others but this is the first specific approval I have stumbled across.
If anyone else has found oils that are advertized as meeting those two standards add them to this thread if you please.
