I've used it for a number of years and have had no oil-related problems, but keep in mind that synthetic oils are sometimes incompatible with the original seals in older engines and leaks can develop. And yes, you can go back to dino oil if you choose...

I used to run amsoil in my KX 125 and it seemed to do alright better than alot of the other stuff. But as far as in my truck no the stuff is pretty pricy when your rig burns/leaks a quart a week.

I have used the fuel system additive and found it to be a quality product. Unfortunately my engine tends to burn too much oil for me to justify using something expensive until I get new rings/seals.
