Default Captiva Ecotec engine - E85 or E20 ?

Hi, I live in Thailand and I have a Chevrolet Captiva from 2012 with an Ecotec flexfuel 2.4l engine that works under Gasohol E85. I was told that it is best to use E85 once a month to help clean the injectors and then to use other gasoline like Gasohol E20. Is it true or should I keep using E85 to get best engine maintenance ?

Thanks in advance.

Not familiar with E85 motors but I'd run a fuel injector cleaner once in a while. Just make sure it will work with E85 or E20.
